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.
Why attend
- Gain a clear understanding of why certification of CO₂ storage sites is critical, and how it supports safe deployment through improved stakeholder confidence
- Learn how ISO 27914:2026 requirements are applied in practice through a structured certification framework
- Understand the key updates from the 2017 to the 2026 edition of ISO 27914,including a strengthened focus on quantification, monitoring, and lifecycle verification
- Explore how certification supports regulatory engagement, investment decisions, and risk management
- See how the updated DNV‑SE‑0473:2026 service specification provides a practical, milestone‑based approach to demonstrating compliance and assurance across the CCS lifecycle
Who should attend
This webinar is primarily designed for professionals involved in CCS projects with a focus on CO₂ storage, including:
- Regulators and permitting authorities
- CCS operators and project developers
- Investors and financial institutions
- Insurers and risk advisors
- Carbon accounting and reporting professionals

Ahmed Mohamed, Principal Consultant CO₂ Storage, CCUS, DNV
Ahmed is a Principal Consultant and CO₂ storage specialist at DNV with more than 20 years of experience in subsurface evaluation, reservoir characterization, geomechanics, and carbon capture and storage. He supports projects globally, advising operators, developers, and investors on geological storage assessment, assurance, and certification readiness. His expertise covers saline aquifers, depleted reservoirs, and CO₂-EOR, with a focus on capacity, injectivity, containment, risk management, and monitoring. He has experience with ISO 27914, ISO 27916, U.S. EPA requirements, 45Q, and CBAM.
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.
