Resumo:

This chapter addresses the regulatory and institutional framework for geological carbon storage in Brazil, especially in the Santos and Paraná Basins, in terms of important territorial peculiarities for the regulatory context. Thus, it addresses the general perspectives for incorporating international normative criteria and the pertinence of internal norms to CCS technologies, showing the current internal legal and regulatory issues, using them as a locus of application. To this end, the deductive analytical method will be adopted for research elaboration, combined with the systematic and teleological approach for legal hermeneutics and the comparative method for the exposition of best practices. The analysis of the basins shows that they require long-term storage and monitoring planning. In this sense, the research techniques will be documentary and theoretical analysis and institutional composition.
