Figure 40. Diagram highlighting the impact of nontechnical risks for carbon storage in the Rotliegend Group. The Rotliegend Group’s green-amber-red (traffic light) color coded common-risk segment map (see Figure 31 for legend) showing the position of existing carbon storage licenses and areas offered as part of the first carbon storage licensing round is overlain by the position of offshore wind sites (active and planned) and conservation zones. The green areas are considered to be the best areas for carbon storage based on geological criteria. The red areas are disadvantaged and the amber ones are intermediate with the potential to house storage sites. JNCC = Joint Nature Conservation Committee; NSTA = North Sea Transition Authority; SNS = Southern North Sea; TCE = The Crown Estate.
