The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what plans he has to sequence carbon capture, usage and storage projects after Track 1 and 2.

Answered by Sarah Jones

Our £21.7 billion investment in CCUS will help launch an era of clean energy in Britain – boosting energy security, backing industries, and supporting thousands of highly skilled jobs across the country.

In the longer term, it is important that industry and government enable the development of a self-sustaining UK CCUS sector supporting good jobs and reducing emissions, putting the UK at the forefront of global CCUS.

Decisions for continued CCUS deployment will be taken in due course.
