The December 2023 business model update provides further details on the proposed commercial frameworks for the GGR and Power BECCS business models. It includes an update on the government’s approach to developing methodologies for engineered GGRs, including monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV).

The indicative Heads of Terms for the GGR Business Model provides a framework for the principal terms and conditions that are expected to be included in the GGR Agreement for initial projects.

In addition, ERM has published an independent review of engineered GGR standards and methodologies, commissioned by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero with the aim of understanding the potential applicability of existing standards and methodologies to UK business models.
