Proceeding contribution from Lord Woolmer of Leeds (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 12 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Energy Bill.
Energy Bill
As I understand it, it is, in principle, possible to have carbon storage on the floor of the ocean, if it is deep enough. I also recall the Government saying that although that is technically the case, it is not their intention to do so, certainly in the early days. Is it possible to find areas within the 88-mile, or whatever, area away from our 12-mile limit where it would be technically possible to store carbon dioxide on the bed of the ocean at sufficient depth, or is that an interesting theoretical possibility that could not realistically apply within UK waters?
