Federal law on the ban on the geological storage of carbon dioxide
§ 1. The meaning of this Federal Act 1 'exploration' means assessing potential storage complexes for the purpose of geological storage of carbon dioxide by interfering with the underground holes with geological data to be collected about the stratification of the potential storage complex, and, where appropriate, the performing injection tests to the characterisation of the storage site and 2 'geological storage of carbon dioxide"injection and behälterlose storage of carbon dioxide streams in geological structures.
