Building trust in CO₂ storage: ISO 27914 certification for risk reduction
Join DNV’s leading CCS experts to explore how ISO 27914:2026 requirements are translated into certified CO₂ storage, building confidence through a structured framework.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a critical pathway for achieving global emissions reduction targets. However, in many jurisdictions regulatory frameworks remain incomplete, and concerns around technology maturity continue to affect public confidence and investment decisions. At this early stage of large-scale deployment, CCS projects must demonstrate robust management of environmental, technical, operational, and stakeholder risks, particularly given the low tolerance for failure.
ISO 27914:2026 provides an internationally recognized framework for the geological storage of CO₂, establishing technical requirements for safe and effective operations. Third-party certification offers independent assurance that projects have applied a rigorous, risk-based, and site-specific approach, reducing risks to the environment and human health to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). This structured approach is particularly valuable in emerging regulatory contexts, where certification can complement permitting processes and build confidence among regulators, investors, insurers, and project partners.
Certification can be applied across the full CCS project lifecycle, from site screening and appraisal through to post-injection stewardship, supporting key project decisions and regulatory approvals.
The 2026 revision of ISO 27914 strengthens the technical focus of the standard, introducing enhanced requirements for quantification, monitoring, and verification of stored CO₂. It also broadens applicability by no longer explicitly excluding storage formations such as coal, basalt, shale, and salt caverns, while maintaining the requirement for a competent confining unit. Complementing this, the updated DNV service specification, DNV‑SE‑0473:2026, translates ISO requirements into a structured certification framework, with defined verification processes, deliverables, and certificates of conformity aligned with project milestones.

Speakers
Diane Labregere, Principal Consultant CO₂ Storage, CCUS, DNV
Diane Labregere is a reservoir engineer and hydrogeologist with over 22 years of international experience gained at Schlumberger, BG Group (QGC), and ConocoPhillips. Her expertise spans offshore gas exploration, brownfield reservoir management, groundwater modelling, CO₂ storage (CCS), and Coal Seam Gas development across Europe, Indonesia, and Australia.
She began her CCS work as a Senior Reservoir Engineer at Schlumberger Carbon Services (2006–2009), where she contributed to testing ECLIPSE 300 CO₂ functionalities and authored several papers on benchmarking and injectivity. She subsequently specialised in integrated static and dynamic modelling, focusing on storage capacity, injectivity, and risk assessment for CO₂ storage sites in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.
Diane has extensive experience in reservoir simulation across a wide range of gas reservoirs and aquifer systems. She is also a former certified instructor for NExT, delivering ECLIPSE and Petrel Reservoir Engineering courses.
Currently, Diane provides CO₂ storage expertise at DNV, supporting operators, service companies, and government bodies on subsurface aspects of CCS. Her role includes advising on best practices, international standards, certification, and verification. She specialises in site screening and selection, as well as capacity and injectivity assessment, and leads multidisciplinary teams globally to deliver CCS subsurface review projects. She is also actively involved in business development across the APAC region.
Johnathon Osmond, Principal Consultant CO₂ Storage, CCUS, DNV
Johnathon is a geoscientist who has been a part of the subsurface CO₂ storage and CCS landscape for over 10 years, with additional experience stemming from the oil and gas industry, the public sector, and academia. Before joining DNV as a Principal Consultant for CO₂ Storage in the CCUS team, he worked on a variety of international projects both onshore and offshore, located primarily in West Texas, the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the northern Caribbean, and the North Sea.
Johnathon specializes in geological CO₂ storage site characterization and derisking, with a strong background in containment analysis. He is also an expert in subsurface data interpretation and 3D modelling. In addition to CO₂ storage activities, he has worked on research projects related to wastewater injection-induced seismicity in Texas, served as an oil and gas exploration consultant, supported geophysical data acquisition, and taught various academic courses in geoscience.
Jamie Burrows, Global Segment Lead, CCUS, DNV
Jamie Burrows is the Global Segment Lead for Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) at DNV, where he plays a pivotal role in shaping the organisation’s global strategy and service delivery across the entire CCUS value chain. With more than 20 years of international experience in the engineering and energy sectors, he brings a unique combination of technical expertise, commercial leadership, and strategic insight to one of the fastest‑growing areas of the energy transition.
In his current role, Jamie leads DNV’s global CCUS segment during a period of rapid scale‑up, as industries worldwide accelerate investment in carbon capture technologies. He works closely with governments, industrial emitters, technology providers, and investors to enable the safe, reliable, and cost‑effective deployment of large‑scale CO₂ capture, transport, and storage systems.
Before joining DNV, Jamie held senior roles at the Global CCS Institute, where he engaged directly with international stakeholders – including governments, corporations, and technology developers – to accelerate the deployment of CCS worldwide. Earlier in his career, he held key business development roles within engineering consultancies supporting major energy and pipeline projects.
