This conference looked at next steps for carbon capture, utilisation, and storage as the Government launches its CCUS investor roadmap: capturing carbon and a global opportunity.
Key stakeholders and policymakers assessed priorities for the Carbon Sequencing Process and for realising wider benefits from CCUS technologies.
Against the backdrop of the UK’s CCUS Cluster Sequencing Process, the agenda looked at Track-1 Clusters, next steps and outstanding issues, and priorities for the recently announced Phase-2 projects to progress.
The discussion came during a period of renewed focus on the development and commercialisation of carbon capture technologies in the UK - with the Government viewing it as critical to meeting its commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, and integral to economic growth and helping tackle regional disparities.
The agenda included sessions on:
- CCUS policy priorities and commercialising technology development
- Track-1 Clusters and progression to Phase-2 of the Cluster Sequencing Process
- growing the CCUS supply chain, and potential impact on local economies
- rollout and deployment of CCUS at a global level
- carbon capture and storage portfolios for 2050, with the Carbon TakeBack Obligation
- long-term deployment of CCUS and assessing its role in net-zero ambitions
We were pleased to be able to include keynote sessions with Beatrice Filkin, Deputy Director, CCUS, BEIS; Ruth Herbert, Chief Executive, CCSA; Professor Stuart Haszeldine, Professor of Carbon Capture and Storage, University of Edinburgh; and Director, SCCS; and Christoph Beuttler, Head of Climate Policy, Climeworks.
The conference was an opportunity for stakeholders to consider the issues alongside key policy officials who attended from BEIS; the Environment Agency; DAERA, NI; Defra; DIT; DfT; DLUHC; HSE; HM Treasury; the Planning Inspectorate; and the Welsh Government.
