Peak Cluster: Carbon Capture and Storage

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how much carbon dioxide the Peak Cluster project will store each year.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The department has not made an assessment of the amount of carbon dioxide that the Peak Cluster project will store each year. The Peak Cluster’s planned CCUS project has not been identified as one of the four CCUS Clusters for support through the government’s CCUS Cluster Sequencing process and is not in receipt of any funding from the department. Consequently, the information held by the department on the project is limited at this stage.
