The lack of specific regulation for new technologies such as Carbon Dioxide Geological Storage (CGS) represents an obstacle in the fight against global warming and its consequences. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and a reduction in its concentration in the atmosphere through geological storage has been highlighted as an important initiative. As this is a little researched technology there is a lack of specific regulation to accompany its large scale usage. However, some developed countries have already structured their CGS regulatory framework. According to international studies one basic aspect in building a CGS regulatory structure lies in its correlation with natural gas and oil regulation. This article presents a regulatory framework Brazilian CGS proposal and suggests the creation of a new law on the subject and the development of its main regulatory mechanisms. The methodology used in this article is based on a review of literature and comparative analysis. A survey of the existing Brazilian legal framework on oil and gas was made. Focusing on the critical points of a Brazilian regulatory framework for CGS proposal this article identifies several technical, legal and structural aspects that must be present in the regulation.
