Abstract

These Regulations implement in part in the United Kingdom Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the geological storage of carbon dioxide. In particular, they implement Articles 18 and 20 on the transfer of responsibility for a closed storage site and the associated financial mechanism. The holder of a licence for a storage site that has been closed may apply to the authority for the licence to be terminated. An application must include a transfer report. The Regulations prescribe the basis on which the authority must reach an initial decision whether to terminate a licence.
