The CCSA welcomes the launch of the Independent Review of Greenhouse Gas Removals (GGR), Chaired by Dr Alan Whitehead CBE.
Olivia Powis, CEO of the CCSA said:
“GGR technologies are critical for addressing the climate crisis. They are required alongside the deployment of CCUS, which the UK Government has already made significant progress on deploying in Merseyside and Teesside.”
“This Review is important for accelerating progress on the construction of large-scale GGR projects. While much work has already been undertaken by the industry and Government to develop policies and GGR business models, through Dr Alan Whitehead’s leadership this Review has the potential to significantly move the industry forwards, and the industry stands ready to engage with the Review to ensure its success.”
“While this Review is being carried out, the shortlisting and progressing GGR projects, including the GGR/Power BECCS business models, must continue. Any slowdown has a serious impact on the absolute need to meet net zero targets.”
