- Reference Number:

- Close Date:

This consultation asks for views on two issues likely to affect future development of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) infrastructure (carbon dioxide pipelines and storage sites) – third party access and how best to organise long-term investment.
The first part sets out proposals for transposing third party access requirements of an EU CCS Directive. We are asking for views on our proposed approach, draft Regulations and the Impact Assessment.
The second part asks for views on what, if any, additional steps Government might take to develop the investment framework for CCS infrastructure.
We are seeking responses to the first part by 4 February 2011 and responses to the second part by 4 March 2011.
