Abstract

Avoiding the adverse impacts of carbon capture and storage activities on the environment and human health would require careful site selection, effective regulatory oversight, and appropriate monitoring program. The strategic environmental assessment and environmental impact assessment are procedural tools for evaluating and assessing possible environmental effects of a policy or certain project. This chapter provides the overview of the principles and methodology for strategic environmental assessment and environmental impact assessment for carbon capture and storage activity. The guidelines of carbon capture and storage activities to accomplish strategic environmental assessment or environmental impact assessment are also discussed and illustrated.
