In responding to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero’s update confirming that it intends to launch a new East Coast Cluster (ECC) Teesside selection process in early 2026, Olivia Powis, CEO of the CCSA, said:
“The CCSA welcomes today’s announcement as an important step forward for CCUS – ahead of a pivotal year for the sector. This progress sends a strong signal to industry and investors that the UK is continuing to move from ambition to delivery, building on the commitments that were made at the Spending Review earlier this year. With continued momentum, we can unlock the next wave of projects, accelerate industrial decarbonisation and build a self-sustaining CCUS market that supports growth, energy security and a cleaner future.”
