The creation of a major CCUS hub in the Humber industrial region is essential to the UK energy transition and will accelerate the production of low-carbon products such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), according to Drax Group.
Other countries are “the winners of the energy transition” as low carbon projects in the UK are stalled by government red tape, an energy boss has warned.
The UK is considering delaying support for some carbon capture projects until after this year as costs rise for the fledgling technology that’s critical to the country’s climate goals.
A new report finds that the UK’s carbon capture and storage (CCS) capacity is likely to fall short of 2030 targets and complains of ‘disproportionate’ support for blue hydrogen schemes over electricity generation.
Chief executive of Wood (LON:WG), Ken Gilmartin, says that his firm's growth in carbon capture comes from picking work that allows its “subject matter experts shine.”
Industrial sites and chemicals plants are rarely portrayed as the new clean industries of the future, but many are now at the sharp end of the energy transition.
BP (LON: BP) has awarded engineering contracts for the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) and East Coast Cluster (ECC) carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) projects.
The head of carbon capture developer Storegga says the UK is “sitting on an opportunity” to capitalise on its expertise and resources in deploying CCS.
With around 200 carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) projects now in the pipeline, the fledgling sector is set for significant growth in 2022 – but cost controls, operational success and political support will be essential to maintain pace, says Wood Mackenzie.

The COP26 climate conference is now behind us and we are left with mixed feelings about the future health of our planet. While some summarised the conference as “blah blah blah”, others talked about constructive discussions and breakthroughs.
Two groups of engineers have been selected by BP to provide competing concepts as part of the UK’s first full-scale integrated power and carbon capture project in Teesside.
The UK Government has launched the next step in its bid to deliver carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) at two industrial clusters by the mid-2020s.
I didn’t want to revisit the UK’s carbon capture debacle so soon, but the decision to demote Scotland’s Acorn project to the second division has forced my hand.
