Paragraph 10 Carbon capture and storageF1

SEPA must assess whether the following conditions are met for all large combustion plants with a rated electrical output of 300 megawatts or more, for which the first permit was granted after 25 June 2009—

In assessing whether the conditions in sub-paragraph (1) are met, SEPA must also take into account other information, and in particular information concerning the protection of the environment and human health.

Where the conditions in sub-paragraph (1) are met, SEPA must include such conditions as it considers appropriate to ensure that suitable space on the authorised place is set aside for the equipment necessary to capture and compress carbon dioxide.

In this paragraph, “first permit” means a permit under either the Pollution Prevention and Control (Scotland) Regulations 2012 or the Pollution Prevention and Control (Scotland) Regulations 2000.
