Objectives of Alberta’s CCS Program
• Demonstration at a large scale
• Build confidence.
• Contribute to the global effort.
• Reduce Alberta’s carbon emissions.
• Develop a world class regulatory framework .

Regulatory Framework Assessment (RFA) -Objectives
• To develop a world-class regulatory framework for CCS that meets the needs of large scale CCS projects: – Review the regulatory regime in Alberta and existing
CCS frameworks in other jurisdictions.– Develop recommendations to refine and guide
legislation, regulations and regulatory processes.
• Ensure that the regulatory process is efficient, transparent and comprehensive.
Regulatory Framework Assessment - Scope
• The RFA is looking at a number of issues relating to CCS in Alberta, including:
o Closure criteria.
o Methodology and rate for the Post Closure Stewardship Fund.
o Clear roles and responsibilities for Alberta regulators.
o How stakeholder engagement will take place.
• A number of recommendations go to the Alberta Government in late-2012.
