Jeff Walker
4th IEA International CCS Regulatory Network
Meeting
May 9, 2012
Agenda
• About CSA Group
• Role of standards in CCS
• CSA Group’s Geological CO2 Storage standard
• Update on ISO standards
2
CSA Group
Accredited Standards Developer
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
• Standards Council of Canada (SCC)
• Active at ISO
Our Standards and Codes
• Over 3,000 standards and codes
• In 54 different technology areas
• Over 40% referenced in legislation
3
Agenda
Solutions exist • Best Practices
• Regulations
• Guidelines
• Papers
Knowledge continues to evolve
4
Guidelines, Standards, Regs, BPs
Accredited Standards • Balance of interests – meets needs of
multiple interests
• Accredited neutral 3rd party oversight
• Demonstrate compliance through mandatory language
• Living document – revisions, amendments and mandatory reviews
• Provide public credibility
5
All have a role and should work together
National or International Standards
CCS crosses borders
• Expertise is international
• Project operators are transnational
• Harmonization has benefits
National differences must be acknowledged
6
Benefits of International Standards
• Leverages worldwide knowledge and experience
• Promotes common understanding of rules
• Reduces conflicting regulations
• Facilitates transfer of expertise and technology
7
CSA Group and CCS
Standard for Geological Storage of CO2
• Bi-national USA – Canada
• Technical Committee controls
content
• IPAC CO2 providing support
• Publication in 2012
Establish requirements and recommendations for the geological storage of carbon dioxide.
Primarily applicable to saline aquifers and depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs

ISO and CCS
New CCS ISO TC 265
• Chaired by Canada
• Secretary Canada, twinned with China
Standardization of materials, equipment, environmental planning and management, risk management, quantification and verification, and related activities in the field of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS)
Excluded; equipment and materials used in drilling, production, transport by pipelines already covered by ISO/TC67
Standards where appropriate
Facilitate not impede innovation
