Environmental Impact Assessment of Carbon Capture Storage in theNetherlands

摘要

This paper provides a concise insight into the application of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedures for future Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects. Main environmental impacts allocated to the three parts of a CCS chain (capture of CO_2 from power plants, transport through pipelines and onshore geological storage) are identified by reviewing analogue EIA's. Furthermore, bottlenecks regarding the assessment of environmental impacts and current environmental legislation are discussed. Finally, suggestions to overcome these bottlenecks and recommendations for future research are made.
