Amendment 33 #
Proposal for a directive – amending act
Recital 14
Recital 14
(14) This Directive should apply to the geological storage of CO2 within the territory of the Member States, their exclusive economic zones and on their continental shelves. The Directive should not apply to research projects. It should, however, apply to demonstration projects with a total intended storage of 1050 kilo tonnes or more. This threshold will allow existing or planned R&D pilot projects in Member States to be excluded from the scope of this Directive and would also seem appropriate for the purposes of other relevant Community legislation. The storage of CO2 in geological formations extending beyond the territorial scope of this Directive and the storage of CO2 in the water column should not be permitted.
