Proceeding contribution from Duke of Montrose (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 12 July 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Storage of Carbon Dioxide (Access to Infrastructure) Regulations 2011.


Storage of Carbon Dioxide (Access to Infrastructure) Regulations 2011

While my noble friend is on the subject of the demonstration project, I know that oil companies in the United States purchase carbon dioxide to increase the output of their oil wells. Are Shell and other firms gaining a financial benefit from this operation by taking the carbon dioxide in this demonstration project and putting it into an oil field? Is it a win-win situation so far as they are concerned?
