Article summary

The Environment Agency (EA) has launched a consultation, seeking views on the development of Environmental Assessment Levels (EALs) for the amine-based carbon capture process. To assist the industry with permit applications, the EA has developed EALs for various amines and amine derivative products associated with the carbon capture process, using an updated approach based on available toxicological data. The consultation outlines the derived EALs and proposes a new methodology for establishing EALs where there is insufficient toxicological data. The EA will utilise stakeholder feedback to refine its approach. The consultation closes on 13 March 2025.
