As such there will be a wide range of interest groups and a number of overlapping regulatory regimes. Whilst a regulatory framework for CCS is emerging in the UK (ahead of many other countries), there remain considerable uncertainties. Table 1 summarises some of the key regulations relevant to all elements along the CCS chain, which developers will need to take into consideration. This should be viewed as high level guidance rather than as a definitive set of regulations given the emerging nature of CCS. It should also be noted that Table 1 summarises the regulations enacted by UK Government in Whitehall, and the variations from this under Scottish law. Regulations in the Republic of Ireland have been excluded. 1 Table 1: Summary of Key UK CCS Consents Part of CCS Chain Regulation Consent/Licence Granting Authority Applicable Section 36 Electricity

Station1 Scotland Station Notes: 1. Hunterston has been included in this list, as although (unlike the other listed installations) it has not yet received planning consent, it is viewed as the catalyst project for the EIS cluster. See main Technical Report for related discussion 7 A.3.0 Structure of CCS Mini-clusters Sections A.3.1 to A.3.6 provide detailed information relating to each mini-cluster proposed as part of the wider EIS CCS Cluster. These mini-clusters have been modelled according to a range of assumptions, the rationales for which are provided in detail in the main Technical Report. A.3.1 Western Scotland Mini-Cluster Development The Western Scotland mini-cluster contains the planned Hunterston Power Station which is expected to be the catalyst project for the entire EIS CCS cluster. Following deployment of CCS at Hunterston from around 2016, it is expected that a small number of industrial installations (identified in 8 Table
