Technische Bewertungskriterien

Technical screening criteria Substantial contribution to climate change mitigation 1. Characterisation and assessment of the potential storage complex and surrounding area, or exploration within the meaning of Article 3, point (8), of Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 224 ) is carried out in order to establish whether the geological formation is suitable for use as a CO 2 storage site. 2. For operation of underground geological CO 2 storage sites, including closure and post-closure obligations: (a) appropriate leakage detection systems are implemented to prevent release during operation; (b) a monitoring plan of the injection facilities, the storage complex, and, where appropriate, the surrounding environment is in place, with the regular reports checked by the competent national authority. 3. For the exploration and operation of storage sites within the Union, the activity complies with Directive 2009/31/EC. For the exploration and operation of storage sites in third countries, the activity complies with ISO 27914:2017 ( 225 ) for geological storage of CO 2 .
