ABSTRACT

Public awareness of CCS(Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage) technology, a representative technology for reducing carbon dioxide on a large scale, is very poor and it is very necessary to promote it to the public. In addition, if fine dust collection technology can be developed in the development of carbon dioxide gathering technology, the demand and importance for CCS will soar. To assess the stability and efficiency of the CCS project and minimize its impact on the environment, an environmental management system dealing with the entire CCS process is needed and the legal basis for this is urgently needed. The biggest issue of underground storage is whether it is hazardous or not if the injected carbon dioxide should be leaked. This is because the leakage of carbon dioxide will not only reduce storage efficiency but also affect the health of local residents and their surrounding ecosystems. Therefore, it should be monitored throughout the entire process, from site selection to injection and post-injection closure, so that land storage can be safe and environmentally friendly, and licensing and environmental management regulations should be established at a national level. Following the introduction of the latest CCS policy trends in the major countries on CO2 underground storage, we will examine the need and direction of CCS single act for CO2 underground storage and present five principles of public acceptance for soft landing of CCS project.
