CCS Legislation in Alberta • The Carbon Capture and Storage
Statutes Amendment Act, 2010 was passed in Dec 2010. – Pore Space Ownership – Long-term liability – Post -closure Stewardship Fund – Tenure Agreements
![Page 4: Global CCS Institute - Day 2 - Panel 5 - Defining and Quantifying CCS Risk and Liability](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110302/546ad80aaf79592f798b5f48/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
CCS Regulatory Framework Assessment (RFA) • Review of our existing framework and other jurisdictions • Also looking at some gaps:
– Closure criteria. – Methodology and rate for the PCSF. – Role of risk assessment in CCS. – Clarity of roles and responsibilities for Alberta regulators. – How stakeholder engagement will take place. – Role of Environmental Impact Assessments in a CCS project.
• Recommendations go to the Alberta Government in late-2012.

GCCSI Participation in the RFA • The GCCSI was involved at the Steering Committee
and Working group level. • Steering Committee – Ian Havercroft • MMV Working Group – Ian Hayhow and Steve
Whittaker • Regulatory Working Group – Ian Hayhow

Risk Assessments Are Important • Can be used to reduce and manage risks • Will guide development of monitoring plans • Current status:
– Not explicitly required – But, embedded in current ERCB approval processes
![Page 7: Global CCS Institute - Day 2 - Panel 5 - Defining and Quantifying CCS Risk and Liability](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110302/546ad80aaf79592f798b5f48/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
RFA Emerging Recommendations – Risk Assessment
• Risk assessments should be required as an integral part of MMV and Closure Plans
• Guidelines for risk assessments: – Iterative, systematic, technically defensible,
transparent and available to the public. – Modelling and simulations to evaluate and predict
behaviour and inform the risk assessment. – Identify non-technical risks related to public
acceptance of MMV Plans

Post-Closure Stewardship Fund
• Established in the Mines and Minerals Act • Allowable uses of the PCSF:
• Monitoring of injected CO2
• Fulfilling obligations assumed when closure certificate issued
• Suspension, abandonment, remediation and reclamation of orphaned facilities (not capture or pipelines)
![Page 9: Global CCS Institute - Day 2 - Panel 5 - Defining and Quantifying CCS Risk and Liability](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110302/546ad80aaf79592f798b5f48/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
RFA Emerging Recommendation – Post-closure Stewardship Fund
• PCSF rate should be: • risk-based and probability weighted • project-specific
• Third party analysis of projects to help set the rate • Rates should be reviewed when MMV and Closure
Plans are reviewed (every three years) • Funds should be pooled amongst all payees

How much money will we need in the future?
• Industrial Economics Inc. – Valuation of the long-term risks associated with CCS.
• Alberta Innovates Technology Futures
– Estimated future costs of potential future MMV and Remediation activities.

Knowledge Sharing • New for most jurisdictions and little publicly available
information • We need to share our experiences with each other • Need to leverage external expertise that
Governments may not have internally – e.g. risk valuation and management
• Communicating risk is key

Carbon Sequestration Tenure Regulation
• Sets out details of two CCS tenure types • Evaluation Permit
• 5 year, non-renewable • MMV plan required
• Carbon Sequestration Lease • 15 year, renewable • MMV and Closure plans required – renewed every 3 years
• 1000m minimum depth

Carbon Capture and Storage Statutes Amendment Act, 2010 – Mines and Minerals Act
• Minister can issue a Closure Certificate • If certificate is issued, liability transfers to
Government of Alberta • Owner of injected CO2 • Owner, operator, licensee of injection facilities • Indemnifies the lessee against damages in tort action
![Page 16: Global CCS Institute - Day 2 - Panel 5 - Defining and Quantifying CCS Risk and Liability](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110302/546ad80aaf79592f798b5f48/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
RFA Emerging Recommendation – Closure and Transfer of Liability
• Minimum closure period – The Crown may grant a closure certificate after lessee
has demonstrated sustained compliance with performance criteria, no sooner than 10 years after initiation of final closure plan.
• Include climate liability in the list of liabilities that transfers to the Crown after Closure Certificate is issued.
