captured at a capture point are transferred for a purpose other than permanent storage by the project.
Note: The owner or operator of the capture point can be an off-taker.
permanently stored, in relation to greenhouse gases, means storage of the greenhouse gases in a storage site:
 (a) in accordance with the relevant authority and any Commonwealth, State or Territory legislation governing the use of the storage site; and
 (b) in a way that the greenhouse gases would not be released into the atmosphere;
and permanent storage has a corresponding meaning.
       project greenhouse gases means greenhouse gases captured for permanent storage by a carbon capture and storage project at a capture point used by the project that are subjected to processing, compression and transportation for the purpose of being permanently stored by the project without being co-mingled with greenhouse gases that are processed, compressed and transported for a purpose other than being permanently stored by the project.
recognised law of a State or Territory means a law of a State or Territory that makes provision for regulation of the injection and permanent storage of greenhouse gases in a recognised reservoir located in that State or Territory, and that meets, or is part of a legislative framework that in combination meets, the following criteria:
 (a) the law or legislative framework requires the owners or operators of proposed projects to provide to the person or body responsible for the administration of that law or framework, detailed assessments and technical specifications of the proposed recognised reservoir including its estimated storage capacity and its ability to be used to permanently store injected greenhouse gases;
 (b) the law or legislative framework imposes requirements, or requires conditions to be imposed on or in relation to the recognised licence, about the greenhouse gases to be injected, including technical specifications of the composition, injection rate, and volume of the greenhouse gases;
  (c) the law or legislative framework requires monitoring and regular reporting of greenhouse gases that are intended to be, and have been, stored in the recognised reservoir, at a minimum for the duration of the relevant authority;
 (d) the law or legislative framework requires the assessment of the likelihood of greenhouse gas loss from the recognised reservoir and potential migration paths of injected greenhouse gases from the recognised reservoir;
 (e) the law or legislative framework requires all risks of greenhouse gas loss from the recognised reservoir to public health and the surrounding environment to be identified in a detailed assessment;
 (f) the law or legislative framework requires mitigation and management strategies to be developed and implemented to address identified risks;
  (g) the law or legislative framework establishes criteria for when a proposed project will be required to
