Comment
We strongly urge the Ministry to adopt a regulatory framework inclusive of geologic carbon storage for carbon sequestration with these key considerations:
•Ensure reasonable and sustainable access to permanent geologic carbon storage;
•De-risk the possibility of legal challenges to ownership of pore space and private/public land where carbon storage resides
•Guarantee a transparent permitting process and timely issuance of permits;
•Support (not restrict) other steps in the CCUS value chain as sequestration benefits can’t be maximized without CO2 capture technologies nor secure and safe CO2 transportation;
•Avoid imposing additional penalties on CO2 emissions.
Additional feedback provided in the attached letter.
