Permitting to development for carbon capture and storage

Key aspects include securing approvals for CO₂ capture facilities, pipeline transport and long-term geological storage, each governed by strict environmental and safety standards. Challenges can include lengthy and uncertain permitting timelines, proving long-term storage integrity and addressing public concerns about safety and environmental impact. Permitting is critical as it ensures CCS projects meet safety, environmental and legal requirements, providing regulatory certainty and public trust needed for successful development.

This webinar offers a range of perspectives around permitting to development for CCS, including but not limited to, topics such as experiences in permitting, discussions around social acceptance, long-term liability, jurisdictional differences and lessons learned.

Speakers:

• David Reiner, University of Cambridge
• Zoë Sayer, North Sea Transition Authority
• Moderated by Shannon Gray, Product Development Engineer at 1PointFive and Ipieca’s CCS Task Force Co-chair

This webinar is part of a series on CCS hosted by SPE Gaia and SPE CCUS Technical Section, IOGP, OGCI and Ipieca, sharing knowledge and good practice around the scaling up of this technology, including key issues, environmental responsibility, financial incentives, policy, and liability concerns.
