Commission Regulation (EU) No 601/2012 of 21 June 2012 on the monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions pursuant to Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (Text with EEA relevance) (repealed) (c. 601)

ANNEX IV Activity-specific monitoring methodologies related to installations (Article 20(2))

21. Determination of greenhouse gas emissions from CO₂ capture activities for the purposes of transport and geological storage in a storage site permitted under Directive 2009/31/EC

A. Scope

CO₂ capture shall be performed either by a dedicated installation receiving CO₂ by transfer from one or more other installations, or by the same installation carrying out the activities producing the captured CO₂ under the same greenhouse gas emissions permit. All parts of the installation related to CO₂ capture, intermediate storage, transfer to a CO₂ transport network or to a site for geological storage of CO₂ greenhouse gas emissions shall be included in the greenhouse gas emissions permit and accounted for in the associated monitoring plan. In the case of the installation carrying out other activities covered by Directive 2003/87/EC, the emissions of those activities shall be monitored in accordance with the other relevant sections of this Annex.

The operator of a CO₂ capture activity shall at least include the following potential sources of CO₂ emission:

(a)

CO₂ transferred to the capture installation;

(b)

combustion and other associated activities at the installation that are related to the capture activity, including fuel and input material use.
