Carbon Dioxide Storage Agreement
Understanding this form
The Carbon Dioxide Storage Agreement is a legal document that outlines the terms under which carbon dioxide is stored underground. This agreement is crucial for companies needing to manage their carbon emissions efficiently, often due to regulatory requirements. Unlike other storage agreements, this specific form focuses on carbon dioxide storage in designated underground facilities, detailing responsibilities and rights of both the carbon dioxide owner and the storage facility owner.
What’s included in this form
- Definitions: Clarifies key terms used throughout the agreement.
- Storage Provisions: Details about the procedures for the storage of carbon dioxide.
- Fees: Specifies the storage fees and additional payments required.
- Measurement Facilities: Outlines the equipment used for measuring carbon dioxide volumes.
- Indemnification: Addresses liability and risk management between the parties.
- Notices: Sets the methodology for communication between parties.
When this form is needed
This form is used when a company requires storage services for carbon dioxide, either for compliance with environmental laws or for operational efficiency. It is applicable when establishing an agreement with a facility that specializes in carbon dioxide storage, ensuring both parties are aware of their rights and obligations related to the storage process.
Who should use this form
- Businesses actively seeking carbon dioxide storage solutions.
- Companies in industries that produce significant carbon emissions.
- Environmental compliance officers managing carbon footprint regulations.

FAQ
Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), also referred to as carbon capture, utilization and sequestration, is a process that captures carbon dioxide emissions from sources like coal-fired power plants and either reuses or stores it so it will not enter the atmosphere.
In the case of saline aquifers, as well as structural and mineral storage, the CO2 can dissolve into the salty water in a process called 'dissolution storage'. Here, the dissolved CO2 slowly descends to the bottom of the aquifer. In any given reservoir, each (or all) of these processes work to store CO2 indefinitely.
Carbon dioxide is slightly soluble in water and denser than air, so another way to collect it is in a dry, upright gas jar. As the carbon dioxide falls out of the delivery tube and into the gas jar, it pushes the less dense air out of the top of the gas jar.
The three main types of geological storage are oil and gas reservoirs, deep saline formations, and un-minable coal beds. CO2 can for instance be physically trapped under a well-sealed rock layer or in the pore spaces within the rock.
Where can captured carbon dioxide be stored? After capture, carbon dioxide (CO2) is compressed and then transported to a site where it is injected underground for permanent storage (also known as "sequestration"). CO2 is commonly transported by pipeline, but it can also be transported by train, truck, or ship.
The most well-developed approach to storing CO2 is injecting it underground into naturally occurring, porous rock formations such as former natural gas or oil reservoirs, coal beds that can't be mined, or saline aquifers.
There are three basic types of CO2 capture: pre-combustion, post-combustion and oxyfuel with post-combustion. Pre-combustion processes convert fuel into a gaseous mixture of hydrogen and CO2. The hydrogen is separated and can be burnt without producing any CO2; the CO2 can then be compressed for transport and storage.
Once the carbon dioxide has been transported, it is stored in porous geological formations that are typically located several kilometers under the earth's surface, with pressure and temperatures such that carbon dioxide will be in the liquid or supercritical phase. Suitable storage sites include former gas and oil
Direct air capture is the process of chemically scrubbing carbon dioxide directly from the ambient air, and then storing it either underground or in long-lived products.
