CCSA comments on Government’s announcements regarding next steps for the UK CCUS Cluster Sequencing Process

The UK Government will today announce the first carbon capture projects to be built under the CCUS Cluster Sequencing Process.

Ruth Herbert, Chief Executive at the CCSA, said:

“We have repeatedly made clear to the government that it needs to move forward boldly on CCUS or risk losing the UK’s supply chain to countries who are now joining the industrial decarbonisation race with major interventions.  If the project list published today is too timid, we may well see investment in the wider CCUS project pipeline fall away, unless the government provides reassurance that unsuccessful projects and new clusters and projects will have a clear route forward in the near-term.”
