CCS Network Codes



CCS Network Code Legislation will provide for a licensing regime that will prohibit the carrying out of the activities of carbon dioxide transportation and storage unless authorised by a licence (or exempt in limited circumstances). The licence conditions will require T&SCo to have in place a network code, to be known as the CCS Network Code.

The CCS Network Code will set out the commercial and technical rules and arrangements between T&SCos and Users, and between individual T&SCos, in relation to:

  1. the connection by Users to a transport and storage network (“T&S Network”), or part of a T&S Network;
  2. the delivery of carbon dioxide by Users into the T&S Network at a delivery point;
  3. the transportation and storage of carbon dioxide delivered by Users at delivery points;
  4. the operation and maintenance of each T&S Network; and
  5. the interface between T&SCos in relation to different T&S Networks or parts of a T&S Network.

The CCSA is using existing Member Working Group sub-groups (also open to non-CCSA members to join) to hold weekly meetings to outline and review the draft Heads of Terms. If you would like to be involved in this process please contact Georgina.Katzaros@ccsassociation.org
