Marine Monitoring of Storage Sites, Potential Conflicts in Regulations and Technological Capabilities
conference paper
Reserving marine areas for CO2 storage is an activity not previously considered, raising new and difficult questions
on policy and legal framework. International law, regional (like EU) and national regulations come into play in the
CO2 storage permit application process, including preliminary Risk and Project Impact assessments, procedural
requirements regarding stakeholder and public participation and public access to information and integrated
assessments. In the last 20 years, more strategic and holistic instruments for management of (sea) areas and resources
have been developed, compared to the traditional license system. Examples might be Marine Spatial Planning
(MSP) requirements for opening marine areas for storage based on Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA).
