Carbon Capture and Storage: Yorkshire and the Humber

Asked by Graham StuartConservativeDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 15 October 2024UIN 7414

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, when he expects to progress Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage in the Humber through the Track-1 Expansion and Track-2 processes.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The historic investment we recently announced in Carbon Capture and Storage in the North-West and North-East is just the start, representing a vote of confidence in this technology and burgeoning industry. To be ultimately successful, delivering on our climate commitments and protecting jobs, we need to deliver across all four corners of the UK. We have been engaging with the Track-1 and Track-2 clusters, to understand their deployment and expansion plans. We recognise that industry will be hoping for clarity as soon as possible on next steps, and we will have more to say on future projects in the coming months.
