UK government goes big on CCS with £1 billion cluster investment
Report summary
The UK government is going big on CCS. At the backbone of its ambitious strategy is a £1 billion Carbon Capture and Storage Infrastructure Fund. The first two CCS clusters to access this fund have been announced as the East Coast Cluster and HyNet North West. The cluster approach is not unique to the UK, but we think there are three things that differentiate the UK's plans - pace, scale and diversity. Read on for our take on why the first two clusters were selected, and just how achievable the UK’s big plans for CCS are.
