The assessment of local environmental risks, such as: permeable zones in the storage(CO2) A process for retaining captured CO2, so that it does not reach the atmosphere formationA body of rock of considerable extent with distinctive characteristics that allow geologists to map, describe, and name it sealAn impermeable rock that forms a barrier above and around a reservoir such that fluids are held in the reservoir; leakage(in CO2 storage) The escape of injected fluid from the storage formation to the atmosphere or water column through undetected faults; leakage(in CO2 storage) The escape of injected fluid from the storage formation to the atmosphere or water column via wells; regional scale over-pressurisation; exceeding reservoirA subsurface body of rock with sufficient porosity and permeability to store and transmit fluids spill pointThe structurally lowest point in a structural trap that can retain fluids lighter than background fluids and earthquake induced fractures, are necessary considerations when preparing a monitoringMeasurement and surveillance activities necessary for ensuring safe and reliable operation of a CGS project (storage integrity), and for estimating emission reductions plan, which a major input for a storage(CO2) A process for retaining captured CO2, so that it does not reach the atmosphere permit application (DNV, 2009). During storage(CO2) A process for retaining captured CO2, so that it does not reach the atmosphere operation potential environmental risks are carefully monitored and the interpreted monitoringMeasurement and surveillance activities necessary for ensuring safe and reliable operation of a CGS project (storage integrity), and for estimating emission reductions data is used to determine site performance and compare it to the predicted behaviour.
If the comparison/deviation is within a predefined range, the results are used to update the geological model as wellManmade hole drilled into the earth to produce liquids or gases, or to allow the injection of fluids as the monitoringMeasurement and surveillance activities necessary for ensuring safe and reliable operation of a CGS project (storage integrity), and for estimating emission reductions plan (every five years as a minimum requirement). The competent authority reviews the storage(CO2) A process for retaining captured CO2, so that it does not reach the atmosphere permit using the monitoringMeasurement and surveillance activities necessary for ensuring safe and reliable operation of a CGS project (storage integrity), and for estimating emission reductions and performance verification(CO2 storage) The proof, to a standard still to be decided, of the CO2 storage using monitoring results; (in the context of CDM) The independent review by a designated operational entity of monitored reductions in anthropogenic emissions results. However, if any serious deviation from predicted behaviour is detected, in other words "significant irregularityAny irregularity in the injection or storage operation or in the condition of the storage volume itself, which implies the risk of a leakage or risk to the environment or human health", this must be reported to the competent authority. Preventive and corrective measures, according to the plans in the storage(CO2) A process for retaining captured CO2, so that it does not reach the atmosphere permit as wellManmade hole drilled into the earth to produce liquids or gases, or to allow the injection of fluids as on-going consultation with the competent authority, must take immediate action. MonitoringMeasurement and surveillance activities necessary for ensuring safe and reliable operation of a CGS project (storage integrity), and for estimating emission reductions and corrective measures are closely interlinked and the plans and activities should be developed by the operator in a holistic manner along with the risk assessmentA process intended to calculate or estimate the risk to a given target, part of a risk management system. The competent authority should seek to ensure close integration between these measures. The deployment of corrective measures is required in the event of leakages or significant irregularities, and these would usually be detected by monitoringMeasurement and surveillance activities necessary for ensuring safe and reliable operation of a CGS project (storage integrity), and for estimating emission reductions results or the interpretation of monitoringMeasurement and surveillance activities necessary for ensuring safe and reliable operation of a CGS project (storage integrity), and for estimating emission reductions data or inspections. In addition, monitoringMeasurement and surveillance activities necessary for ensuring safe and reliable operation of a CGS project (storage integrity), and for estimating emission reductions is used to assess the effectiveness of corrective measures, and additional monitoringMeasurement and surveillance activities necessary for ensuring safe and reliable operation of a CGS project (storage integrity), and for estimating emission reductions activities may be required in event of any leakage(in CO2 storage) The escape of injected fluid from the storage formation to the atmosphere or water column or significant irregularities. According to the EU CCS DirectiveDirective 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the geological storage of carbon dioxide (2009), the occurrence of significant irregularities may result in the withdrawal of the storage(CO2) A process for retaining captured CO2, so that it does not reach the atmosphere permit.
