What’s really driving investment in carbon capture – government policy or private sector momentum? In our latest Infrastructure Insights episode, Olivia Powis, CEO of the Carbon Capture and Storage Association, breaks it down. Listen to the full episode on YouTube or Spotify. 📺 https://lnkd.in/e-QNDqHr 🎙️ https://lnkd.in/esa-xxgM
Read the CCSA statement on the Chancellor’s Spring Statement here 👇 Mark Sommerfeld, UK Director, said: “The Chancellor’s focus in the Spring Statement on delivering economic growth - through planning reform and delivery of skills in the construction sector - will be important for advancing the CCUS industry.” “We need a planning system that doesn’t unduly hinder the rollout of the CCUS projects. While additional capacity and skills in the construction sector will be vital for energy infrastructure projects, ensuring that CCUS clusters are delivered on schedule to meet our climate targets.” “However, for the UK to maintain a competitive edge in CCUS deployment, the Government must urgently provide long-awaited updates on project selection for Track-2, Track-1 expansion, and other CCUS projects capable of deploying on similar timelines. “Decisive action now will enable the UK to achieve clean power by 2030, reduce emissions by 81% by 2035, and, crucially, reach net zero by 2050.”

ICYM last week's Carbon Capture and Storage Association's panel breakfast discussed the findings of their latest report: 'Driving cost reductions and value for money in CCUS' – it explored cost drivers, opportunities and recommendations for delivering a lower-cost CCUS sector. It was great to hear the report summary by KPMG and panel takeaways from Baringa, Bechtel Corporation, Evero and Progressive Energy – from allocation frameworks to business models. Our Chair and CEO, Aniruddha Sharma discussed modular and replicable #carboncapture applications. We're driving down the cost of carbon capture with our innovative columnless CycloneCC technology which is 10x smaller than conventional solutions. Industry leaders in the UK are responsible for unlocking the significant opportunity to be a global leader in #CCUS.

📢 The CCSA’s CEO Olivia Powis responds to the Conservative Party’s revised position on net zero. This follows Party Leader Kemi Badenoch’s speech where she put forward that it would be “impossible” for the UK to reach net zero by 2050 and subsequent commentary from climate champions rebutting the change of position. 🗨️ Read Olivia’s full response👇 “Net zero by 2050 is absolutely achievable and will drive economic growth, particularly through technologies such as Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS). Legislating on net zero has driven investment – and despite pressures on financing, global investment in clean energy was set to reach USD 2 trillion in 2024 almost double the amount going to fossil fuels. In 2015, the ratio of clean power to unabated fossil fuel power investments was roughly 2:1 and in 2024, this ratio was set to reach 10:1. Having a clear target galvanises action and investments in a low carbon economy, which will benefit industry, civil society and our local industrial regions.” “Net zero is crucial not only for tackling climate change but generating economic growth. Our analysis shows that by delivering all CCUS clusters and projects across the UK, over 50,000 jobs could be generated, £26bn in private investment attracted into the UK and £94bn in GVA contributed by 2050.” “It is through the deployment of technologies like CCUS that the UK will be able to scale up domestic energy production, safeguard our foundational industries and produce low-carbon projects for the global market, all by 2050. It has been encouraging that leading Conservative climate champions such as Rt Hon Chris Skidmore, former Energy Minster, and John Gummer, Rt Hon The Lord Deben, former Chair of the Climate Change Committee, continue to emphasise the need to stay the course on net zero. The scientific evidence is clear on why it’s needed and if the UK economy is to grow, demonstrating climate leadership in action will continue to attract significant sums of green investment.” #CCUS | #CarbonCapture | #NetZero | #ClimateAction | #GreenJobs | #Investment | #EnergySecurity

A whole week of CCUS events! This week, our Brussels team participated in several CCUS-related events in Brussels and across Europe. A few (brief) takeaways from those I had the pleasure to speak at: 🔹IOGP Europe "This is not a bank" CCS Multistakeholder Workshop: Regulatory visibility and incentives are crucial to getting into the deployment phase. Assessing correct time scales will play a key role, alongside financial mechanisms, such as CCfDs, in de-risking investments. 🔹Global CCS Institute 2025 Europe Forum on CCS: Where are we with CO2 Transport? It's no secret that CO2 transport topics will keep us busy in the coming months, and it was a pleasure to chair a session on this topic with Bruno Gerrits. Complementarity of pipeline and non-pipeline transport modes will be crucial, along with defining the proper mechanisms to support integrated investments. 🔹EASEE-gas panel discussion ''Future synergies in energy transition'': Pragmatism and a technology-neutral approach can't be underestimated (anymore). We shared opinions and ideas with actors from different sectors, closing with a common perspective: all technologies will play an important role, and CCUS will be an essential part of the equation in our race to net zero. All in all, a dynamic week!
