UK Energy Minister to address flagship carbon capture, usage and storage conference

6th November 2020, London – The CCSA is delighted to announce that The Rt Hon Kwasi Kwarteng MP, Minister of State for Business, Energy and Clean Growth, will be speaking at CCUS 2020: Delivering clean and sustainable growth on the 2nd December 2020.

CCUS 2020 is the meeting place for anyone involved in carbon capture, usage and storage. The development of CCUS is critical to reaching net zero goals and it is also increasingly recognised as an important contributor to the UK Government’s “levelling up” agenda and the goal of building back greener and stronger. With the UK hosting COP26 in 2021, the conference gives us an opportunity to build on the UK’s ambition of becoming a leader in this essential technology and a chance to hear international voices and experiences.

The conference will take place online on Wednesday 2nd and Thursday 3rd December and is free to attend.

Delegates can register to attend at https://whova.com/web/ccus_202012/.

CCUS 2020 is sponsored by SSE Thermal, Carbon Clean, BP and ERM and promises two packed days of insight, ideas and debate. Further confirmed speakers include:
