Carbon storage developers face numerous milestones as they plan, develop, and operate CO2 sequestration projects. One of the early and most critical steps is obtaining the necessary site permits. These regulations are designed to safeguard community health, protect underground drinking water sources, and minimize environmental risks throughout the project life cycle. They cover key elements such as site characterization, CCS well design and construction, well operations, CO2 injection monitoring, CCS well abandonment plans, and emergency response plans. These permits include Class VI in the United States and similarly modeled regulations for CO2 injection wells in other countries such as Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and others.
