Canadian Firms to Design World’s First Carbon Capture Standard 

Carbon Offsets Daily, June 22, 2010

In an attempt to bring some order to a fractured – and controversial – industry, two Canadian organizations have announced a partnership to develop a set of standards for carbon capture and storage (CCS).

Standards organization CSA Standards and the International Performance Assessment Centre for Geologic Storage of Carbon Dioxide (IPAC-CO2) hope the best practices they develop for the Canadian CCS industry will eventually provide a model for CCS standards internationally.

The Canadian-based International Performance Assessment Centre for Geologic Storage of Carbon Dioxide (IPAC-CO2) has developed a global network that aims to link eight regional centers around the world that are currently conducting research on the geological sequestration of CO2. According to IPAC-CO2, the network is designed to meet a public and regulatory need in the global carbon capture and storage (CCS) chain by providing independent performance assessment of geological storage of CO2.
