Proposal for a directive – amending act
Recital 29
Recital 29
(29) ATransparent and non-discriminatory access to CO2 transport networks and storage sites c, irrespective of the geographical location of potential users within the European Union, should become a condition for entry into or competitive operation within the internal electricity and heat market, depending on the relative prices of carbon and CCS. It is therefore appropriate to make arrangements for potential users to obtain such access. This should be done in a manner to be determined by each Member State in consultation with the Commission, applying the objectives of fair and open access and taking into account inter alia the transport and storage capacity which is available or can reasonably be made available, as well as the proportion of its CO2 reduction obligations pursuant to international legal instruments and to Community legislation intended to meet through CO2 capture and geological storage. Member States should also establish dispute settlement mechanisms to enable expeditious settlement of disputes regarding access to CO2 transport networks and storage sitesnd the demand for cross- border transit flows of CO2.

Article 12 – paragraph 1
Article 12 – paragraph 1
1. A CO2 stream shall consist overwhelmingly, and within the territory of the European Union not less than 90%, of carbon dioxide. To this end, no waste and other matter may be added for the purpose of disposing of that waste or other matter. However, a CO2 stream may contain incidental associated substances from the source, capture or injection process, and trace elements may be added to assist in monitoring and verifying CO2 migration. Concentrations of those substances shall be below levels that would adversely affect the integrity of the storage site and relevant transport infrastructure and pose a significant risk to the environment or breach the requirements of applicable Community legislation.
