The Government’s Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution sets out our aim to establish CCUS in at least two industrial sites by the mid-2020s and a further two by 2030 at the latest.

In December 2020 and May 2021, we published details on a Transport and Storage business model and we will publish a further update in Q4 2021. Our aim is to finalise all CCUS business models in 2022.
