A platform will be established to keep track of licensing activities from the site operators of each of the CATO-2 demonstrations. Site operators of all CATO-2 demonstration sites will be on the platform. The platform will convene at the beginning of year 1 to present on progress on their permitting activities.

Experiences from operators will be collected and described, notably with respect to

• site characterisation (possible feedback from  WP4.5 and SP3)
• risk and performance assessments (feedback from WP4.4-6)
• an Environmental Impact Assessment (feedback from WP 4.3)
• a communication plan (feedback from SP5)
• monitoring plans both under the Emissions Trading Directive and the Storage Directive (feedback from SP3),
• a remediation plan (feedback from SP3), 
• a well abandonment plan (feedback from SP3),

a post-closure plan, including liability provisions (feedback from SP3 and WP4.1).

Findings will be presented to the platform. Demonstrations of earmarking companies will have priority, i.e.

• CO2 Catcher EON
• K12B (GdF)
• Barendrecht (NAM/Shell)
• Buggenum (Nuon)
• Eemshaven (Nuon)
• Eemshaven (RWE)
• Geleen (DSM/GTI)
