ANNEX I. CRITERIA FOR THE CHARACTERISATION The following characteristics of the complex vicinity shall be documented: population distribution proximity to valuable natural resources (including in particular Natura 2000 areas pursuant to Council Directive 79/409/EEC of 2 April 1979 on the conservation of wild birds(1)oj L 103, 25.4.1979, p. 1. and Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora(2)oj L 206, 22.7.1992, p. 7., potable groundwater and hydrocarbons); activities around the storage complex and possible interactions with these activities (for example, exploration, production and storage of hydrocarbons, geothermal use of aquifers and use of underground water reserves) 6 th CO 2 GeoNet Open Forum, May 9 11 2011 Venice, San Servolo Island 2

The protected areas (Natura 2000, EEA) 6 th CO 2 GeoNet Open Forum, May 9 11 2011 Venice, San Servolo Island 3

The protected areas (Natura 2000, EEA) A large part of territory of EU states is covered by protected areas, Certainly CO2 injection facilities cannot be located within the protected areas but storage permits would enclose these areas, Precisely, CO2 plume would be located under protected areas and it should be proven no leak may occur (?). Also pipeline routes could cross the protected areas and exploration permits (on CO2 storage sites) could overlap with Natura 2000. 6 th CO 2 GeoNet Open Forum, May 9 11 2011 Venice, San Servolo Island 4

SUMMARY Environment protection areas (Natura 2000) no injection facilities, exploration and transport activities might overlap with the protected areas, Groundwater resources not to be affected with an exception of the deep potable aquifers. Hydocarbon production might rather benefit than suffer from CO2 storage activities, Hydrocarbon storage and CO2 storage could be in a conflict, Exploration for hydrocarbons is a matter of priorities and it should be two cases distinguished: shale gas (likely large future production licenses), other hydrocarbons (smaller production areas), Other mineral resources matter provided they apper within the depth range of storage complex, The use of low enthalpy geothermal resources and CO2 storage could be in a conflict. 6 th CO 2 GeoNet Open Forum, May 9 11 2011 Venice, San Servolo Island 13
