Summary

A consultation seeking the views and expertise of stakeholders on a potential approach to CCUS cluster sequencing.

This consultation ran from
7am on 10 February 2021 to 11:45pm on 10 March 2021

Consultation description

This consultation sets out a potential approach to cluster sequencing for carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS), and seeks views on this approach from interested stakeholders.

The consultation covers:

• a breakdown of a potential 2-phase process we may follow in order to allocate CCUS programme support, and the timeline on which we would execute this process
• the details of the suggested Phase-1 cluster sequencing process, including potential evaluation criteria and the way in which these may be applied
• the direction of travel for Phase-2 of the process, including a potential approach for allocating support to specific projects within clusters

The consultation will be of interest to CCUS stakeholders, including:

• investors and developers involved in potential CCUS projects
• the industrial and energy sectors more widely
• NGOs and other organisations with an interest in climate and energy

However, any individual or organisation is welcome to respond.

See the BEIS consultation privacy notice.

Please do not send responses by post to the department at the moment as we may not be able to access them.
