4.1.6 Regulations in other parts of the world

Many countries outside the EU, the USA, Canada and Australia have begun the process of developing the CCS strategy and national regulation frameworks. Various countries have achieved different levels of advancement. However, very few of the non-EU jurisdictions have taken steps to integrate wider environmental matters into their respective regulatory frameworks. At this stage, issues concerning measurement, monitoring and verification processes are not comprehensively addressed in national regulatory regimes in other parts of the world (Norway being one exception). International Energy Agency and Baker and McKenzie are reporting about the progress in the wider CCS area worldwide on the yearly basis (IEA, 2012; Baker and McKenzie, 2011).
