The application must include— a report for or that includes the proposed potential storage area that— meets the requirements under section 246 for a GHG storage viability report; and is still relevant to the circumstances of the proposed potential storage area; and an evaluation program for— potential GHG stream storage in the proposed potential storage area; and market opportunities for potential GHG stream storage.
