The UK Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) Deployment Pathway: An Action Plan

CCUS has economy-wide qualities which could be very valuable to delivering clean industrial growth. It could deliver tangible results in tackling some of the biggest challenges we face in decarbonising our economy, contributing to industrial competitiveness and generating new economic opportunities – a key part of our modern Industrial Strategy.
Our vision is to become a global leader in CCUS, unlocking the potential of the technology and securing the added value which it can bring to our industrial centres and businesses all across the UK.
Our ambition is that the UK should have the option to deploy CCUS at scale during the 2030s, subject to the costs coming down sufficiently.
Our Industrial Strategy set out four Grand Challenges to put the UK at the forefront of the industries of the future. The Clean Growth Grand Challenge seeks to maximise the advantages for UK industry from the global shift to clean growth. CCUS can be an important part of achieving these objectives.
