Mark Sommerfeld, UK Director of the CCSA, said:
“This licensing round is a crucial step in unlocking the full potential of CCUS to decarbonise industry, create skilled jobs and strengthen the UK’s energy security. Our Delivery Plan highlights the urgent need for both additional CO₂ storage capacity, which will be delivered by this new round, while also ensuring that existing licensed projects are given a clear route to market to complete the development of their stores.”
