Storage of Carbon Dioxide (Access to Infrastructure) Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 2305 of 2011).

These Regulations implement in part in the United Kingdom Directive 2009/31/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the geological storage of carbon dioxide. In particular, they implement Articles 21 and 22 of the Directive, on third party access to carbon dioxide storage sites and transport networks. The authority (as defined in regulation 4) may, when granting consent for relevant infrastructure, include conditions in that consent requiring the infrastructure to be constructed to a capacity, design or (in the case of an offshore pipeline) route different to that proposed. The owner of an infrastructure shall publish information about the available capacity in that infrastructure.
