Who We Are - CCSA

The CCSA is the trade association promoting the commercial deployment of Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), an essential solution to deliver net zero emissions across industry, heat, power and transport.

The CCSA represents the interests of companies and organisations seeking to develop commercial-scale CCUS projects.

We work with members, governments and other organisations to ensure CCUS is developed and deployed at the pace and scale necessary to meet net zero goals and deliver sustainable growth across regions and nations.

CCSA members are drawn from a wide range of sectors such as industry, equipment manufacturing, oil and gas, distribution, academia and regional bodies – as well as the associated supply chain and service sector.

What We Do

By bringing members together through working groups and other events, the CCSA is able to represent the CCUS industry to media, government officials, and other key stakeholders.

We achieve this by:

Engaging with a wide variety of stakeholders to promote the crucial role that CCUS will play in meeting net zero goals

Representing the CCUS industry at key meetings and external events, as well as on social media

Hosting member working group meetings to inform members, develop position papers and respond to public consultations

Organising a range of events, conferences and webinars to facilitate networking, information exchange and build broad support for CCUS

Providing a reliable and credible source of information on CCUS developments around the world to members and interested stakeholders

Our Objectives

Ensure CCUS is recognised and accepted as an essential solution to deliver net zero emissions across the economy

Engage with stakeholders across the political sphere to develop the appropriate long-term commercial models that will establish a number of CCUS clusters – helping to deliver clean regional growth and the industrial transition to a low-carbon economy

Influence the development of policy, regulation and incentives that will enable the successful delivery of early commercial-scale CCUS projects

"Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a necessity, not an option, for reaching net-zero emissions" (Committee on Climate Change, 2019)

In the UK, up to 175Mt of CO₂ storage per year will be required in 2050 to achieve net zero goals

Access to shared CO₂ infrastructure is key to creating low-carbon industrial clusters
