Recital 7a (new)
(7a) Each of the different components of capture, transport and storage of CO2 has been the object of demonstration projects on a smaller scale than that required for their industrial application. However, they still need to be integrated into a complete CCS process, and technological costs need to be reduced. The main projects for CO2 storage which include the participation of European enterprises are the Sleipner project in the North Sea (Statoil) and the In Salah project in Algeria (Statoil, BP and Sonatrach). The large-scale pilot projects under way are the Schwartze Pumpe project in Germany (Vattenfall), the CCS project in the Lacq basin in France (Total), and the El Bierzo project in Spain (CIUDEN).

Annex I – Step 1 – introductory sentence
Sufficient data shall be accumulated to construct a volumetric and dynamic three-dimensional (3- D)- earth model for the storage site and storage complex including the caprock, and the surrounding area including the hydraulically connected areas, and sufficient data for generating the corresponding future evolution scenarios for the site. This data shall cover at least the following intrinsic complex characteristics:
