The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department plans to introduce financial incentives for pilot greenhouse gas removal projects.

Answered by Michael Shanks

In August 2025, the government published details of the Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) Business Model. This is a central pillar of our strategy to kickstart the engineered GGRs industry in the UK, boosting our Acceleration to Net Zero as well as creating new jobs and investment opportunities to drive the government’s Growth Mission.
