Toronto, June 16, 2010 – CSA Standards, a leading developer of standards, codes and personnel certification programs, and the International Performance Assessment Centre for Geologic Storage of Carbon Dioxide (IPAC-CO2 Research Inc.) today announced a joint agreement to develop Canada’s first carbon capture and storage (CCS) standard for the geologic storage of industrial emissions. The CCS standard will be developed by leading North American experts and, upon completion, will be submitted to the Standards Council of Canada for recognition, making it the world’s first formally recognized CCS standard in this area. It is intended that the new standard will then be used as a basis for the promotion of international standards through the International Organization for Standardization.
