1. Site selection: Industrial carbon sequestration facilities must be located in areas with suitable geology, such as deep saline aquifers, depleted oil and gas reservoirs, and unminable coal seams.
2. Carbon capture technology: The chosen technology for capturing carbon dioxide should be technically feasible, economically viable, and energy-efficient, with minimal environmental impacts.
3. Storage capacity: The site must have enough storage capacity to accommodate the anticipated volume of carbon dioxide over the facility's operational lifetime.
4. Monitoring and verification: The facility must have effective monitoring and verification systems that can accurately measure and verify the amount of carbon dioxide injected, the rate of injection, and the effectiveness of storage over time.
5. Risk assessment and management: The facility must undergo a rigorous risk assessment to identify and manage risks associated with carbon dioxide injection, such as potential leakage or seepage.
6. Legal and regulatory compliance: Industrial carbon sequestration facilities must comply with relevant environmental regulations, permits, and other legal requirements.
7. Community engagement: Local communities must be adequately informed and engaged in the development and operation of industrial carbon sequestration facilities, including potential impacts and benefits.
