CCUS priorities in first 100 days of the new government

The Carbon Capture & Storage Association (CCSA), the leading association accelerating the development and deployment of CCUS, recommends five immediate steps that the Government needs to take in their first 100 days in office to ensure the successful development of CCUS in the UK.

The five immediate steps are:

  1. Secure Final Investment Decisions (FIDs) for Track-1 Clusters in the Cluster Sequencing Programme by September
  2. Publish a delivery roadmap for Track-1 expansion and Track-2 clusters
  3. Clarity on revenue support envelopes
  4. Allocate Green Industries Growth Accelerator (GIGA) to the supply chain
  5. Continue to make progress on market mechanisms that will reduce direct subsidies and drive widespread deployment

By undertaking the above five steps in the first 100 days of Government, the UK can achieve first mover advantage in the global CCUS race, create a new industry, decarbonise British businesses, protect and create jobs, and attract inward investment.
