Energy Act 2008 (Storage of Carbon Dioxide) (Scotland) Regulations 2011 (S.S.I. No. 224 of 2011).

These Regulations amend Chapter 3 of Part 1 of the Energy Act 2008 so as to further provide in Scotland for the environmentally safe storage of carbon dioxide in marine areas. They implement in part Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the geological storage of carbon dioxide and extend the prohibition on the storage of carbon dioxide, and related activities, without a licence to all parts of Scotland landward of the Scottish territorial sea. It also makes consequential amendments to the Act.
