Abstract
Carbon capture and storage is “a necessity, not an
option” for the UK’s ambition to transition to net zero by
2050
The UK is well placed to lead in CCUS globally with:
- A worldwide reputation as an international centre of
engineering excellence
- Extensive experience from the oil, gas and
petrochemicals sector
- Substantial CO2 storage potential and industrial
infrastructure e.g. gas network
The UK is a first mover; we will support the establishment
of at least two low carbon CCUS clusters by the mid-
2020s and a further two by 2030 through which we aim
to capture 20-30MtCO2 per year.
