CSA Z741-12 (R2022) PDF

In support of the Canadian and American governments' commitment to reduce GHG emissions, CSA Z741 establishes a standardized approach to Geological Carbon Storage (GCS) projects consistent with industry best practices and regulatory requirements. This standard establishes "what to do" requirements and guidelines to help industry manage risk. It will help Canada and the U.S. remain internationally competitive as the technology evolves and the market for carbon capture and storage (CCS) grows globally. This is Canada's first CCS standard for the geological storage of carbon emissions deep underground. It will help ensure that these storage projects are safe for future generations.
