Carbon Capture and Storage

Asked by Charlie MaynardLiberal DemocratDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 7 February 2025UIN 27752

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make it his policy that Carbon Capture and Storage plans are assessed under principle H of schedule B of the Subsidy Control Act 2022.

Answered by Sarah Jones

Where a subsidy relates to the decarbonisation of emissions linked to industrial activities in the United Kingdom, My Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State is required by the Subsidy Control Act 2022 to consider Principle H – it is not a question of policy - and he will continue to comply with his statutory duties in this regard.
