Detail of outcome

The government response to this consultation on the proposed business model for power BECCS confirms the following positions:

• the Dual CfD mechanism (‘CfDc + CfDe’) which values both the negative emissions and electricity generated
• support for the transport and storage (T&S) fees being calculated and paid separately
• confirmation of a supply chain emission threshold in the model. This position will not declare our approach or unit of measurement, just indication of inclusion

The response outlines the next steps:

• we will continue to progress business model development and engagement with interested parties, working across government to ensure alignment with other developing policies
• to enable this, we are keen to continue engaging with industry, NGOs, academia and other interested parties and will establish a series of regular engagement sessions. We plan to use these engagement sessions to gather further evidence and develop the design of the business model

The response also includes a summary of the consultation responses.
