Mark Sommerfeld, UK Director of the CCSA said:
“The CCSA welcomes GBE’s Strategic Plan, setting out a long-term vision for unlocking the UK’s future energy system. We look forward to working closely with GBE to help deliver a secure, reliable and low-carbon power system. Achieving this will require the full range of clean energy solutions, and CCUS has a vital role to play in providing firm low-carbon power as well as supporting the wider decarbonisation of UK industry. We particularly welcome GB Energy’s focus on strengthening domestic supply chains. The development of CCUS projects presents significant investment opportunities to grow UK content and deliver new regional jobs and economic growth. CCSA looks forward to working with GBE to ensure the investment needed to scale up CCUS is rapidly unlocked and the UK’s capability fully realised.”
