The CCSA welcomes the Government’s Clean Energy Jobs Plan, which recognises the vital role that CCUS and hydrogen will play in achieving the UK’s clean energy future and industrial growth ambitions.

Following the announcement, CCSA CEO Olivia Powis said, “We welcome the Clean Jobs Plan and its recognition of the vital role CCUS and hydrogen will play in achieving the UK’s growth and decarbonisation goals while keeping industries competitive. Developing the necessary skills base is crucial to unlocking these sectors’ full potential and protecting thousands of existing industrial jobs.
