An overview of international practices for authorization and monitoring CO2 storage facilities

Abstract

The present work intends to approach the literature review related to the regulatory structure and legal requirements to obtain authorization for commissioning and operation of CO2 storage installation, as well as an approach to methodologies for monitoring operational aspects and technologies used for this purpose. The importance of monitoring as a fundamental part to guarantee the integrity and safety of the facilities will be scored together with the risk management practice using a methodology called bowtie. As a result, flaws in the monitoring process of the CO2 storage facilities can be verified and how the parties involved in the process can be held responsible.
