This consultation ran from
11am on 1 December 2023 to 11:59pm on 16 February 2024

Consultation description

This consultation seeks views on the proposed Heads of Terms for the CCS Network Code, which is critical to the operation of carbon dioxide Transport and Storage Networks as it is the commercial interface between network users and operators.

The CCS Network Code will set out the various commercial, operational and technical arrangements that will govern the use of these networks. It will provide the framework for seeking a connection, commissioning, and operating, plus other arrangements including on governance, disputes, data management and liabilities.

The consultation is an important step forward in the development of this first of a kind product and the deployment of CCUS in the UK. We expect it will be of particular interest to investors and developers involved in planned or potential CCUS projects. However, any organisation or individual is welcome to respond.
