If storage results in a functionally stable form of carbon on a short timescale — for example, via subsurface mineralization or mineralization of CO₂ in concrete — demonstration that the stable form has been achieved is enough to establish durability. However, if the integrity of storage requires ongoing monitoring and maintenance — for example, with the injection of supercritical CO₂ or biomaterials — an evaluation of durability claims must consider the monitoring and maintenance plan, as well as any applicable regulatory structure that assigns ongoing liability for storage integrity. One important consideration is whether or not there is a track record of sufficient administrative capacity to guarantee execution of monitoring, maintenance, and liability arrangements.
