CCS Roadmap Legal and Regulatory Actions and
Milestones
 Existing legal and regulatory frameworks should be
reviewed and adapted for CCS demonstration by
2011 in OECD countries and by 2015 in all countries
 All countries should have a legal and regulatory
framework suitable for large-scale CCS deployment
by 2020
 International legal issues need to be resolved by

frameworks
 Australia, North America, Europe
 Progress to date generally limited to OECD regions
 Work starting in non-OECD countries (e.g. South Africa,
Malaysia, Vietnam)
 Majority of countries still lack CCS regulatory frameworks

Talking process: developing CCS regulation
 Identify purpose for CCS framework: demonstration v.
deployment
 Context: understanding existing legal landscape
 “Gap and barrier” analysis: how do existing frameworks
match up with what future CCS legislation would aim to
achieve?
 Amend existing regulation or develop dedicated
regulation
 Review regulation to ensure fit for purpose
© OECD/IEA 2010
Talking process in the CCS Review
 What comes first: comprehensive CCS regulation, or CCS
demonstration?
 Coordinating within government
 “Gap and barrier” analysis
 Ensuring regulation is fit for purpose
© OECD/IEA 2010
IEA CCS Model Regulatory Framework
 Assists governments in the development of national
legal and regulatory frameworks
 Draws on current CCS legal and regulatory
developments in Europe, Australia, the United States,
and elsewhere
 Proposes key principles for handling regulatory issues
associated with CCS
 Non-prescriptive
© OECD/IEA 2010
Where does the Model Framework fit in?
 Model Framework synthesises international approach to
CCS regulation
 Inform governments on current regulatory approaches
 Reference point for “gap and barrier” analysis
 Identify purpose for CCS framework: demonstration v. deployment
 Context: understanding existing legal landscape
 “Gap and barrier” analysis: how do existing frameworks match up with
what future CCS legislation would aim to achieve?
 Amend existing regulation or develop dedicated regulation
 Review regulation to ensure fit for purpose
