"On the subject of the geological storage of carbon dioxide, we are discussing the possibility of testing this new technology during an initial phase.
The Commission intends to implement 12 pilot projects during an initial phase. The Council has proposed allocating 300 000 000 emission allowances to finance the demonstration projects. Parliament has called for a reduction in the risk to the environment and human health caused by using this new technology, for a stringent legal framework to be established for testing and promoting projects involving the geological storage of carbon dioxide, and for the provision of the financing for the demonstration projects.
I believe that the safety of these storage sites is extremely important. However, the level of safety when transporting the carbon dioxide to these sites is just as important. The competent authorities in every Member State need to implement emergency evacuation plans if a carbon dioxide leak occurs. In addition, special measures need to be adopted and financed when such sites are closed down."@en1
