Web Conference on what is required for CCS site handover?
 
Location and date(s) of workshop:
Paris: 22 September 2009
   
Organiser(s): IEA

Background:

One of the biggest discussion points around the operation and regulation of CCS activities is when and how responsibility and liability of a CCS storage site can be handed over to a public authority. The process of handover it likely to be dependant on a set of pre-agreed criteria which will have to be met through a combination of good operational practices, monitoring, and modelling. How these elements will be combined and what the criteria will require is still however, unknown.

In this webinar we have three speakers who will look address the key aspects of site handover:
  • Site operation; including site selection, operation, post-injection and closure
  • Site modelling; including the prediction of stabilization
  • Site monitoring; including a case study of the Nagaoka project
The webinar will then have one final speaker who will bring all this information together and discuss how it may provide the long-term confidence in the site to enable handover. The webinar will conclude with a 20-30 minute Q&A with all our speakers.
