Carbon Capture and Storage

BEIS claims launch of next stage of its industrial decarbonisatoin programme as 'an important step towards a net zero economy'

Funds will be used to develop catalyst technology which aims to store CO2 through the production of polymers

Engineered carbon removal technologies such as CCUS, DAC, and BECCS are increasingly seen as crucial to the net zero transition, but spreading the costs fairly remains a challenge

Global carbon capture capacity needed to tackle up to a quarter of today's annual CO2 emissions by 2050, Energy Transitions Commission estimates

Government looks to boost fledgling greenhouse gas removal sector, with new funding for a range of innovative technologies

The government has presented further details of its plan for scaling up direct air capture, CCUS, and BECCS technologies in the coming decade

Company claims new production method presents major opportunity to slash environmental impact of plastic bottles and fibres

Carbon Tracker warns oil firms' climate strategies lack credibility as they largely focus on offsetting, CCS, and direct air capture rather than emissions cuts

The war in Ukraine, cost of living crisis, and imminent local elections all underscore the need to accelerate the net zero transition - but fresh Treasury support for decarbonisation efforts appears unlikely

Dutch firm Avantium manufactures plant-based plastics from fructose, and is also exploring captured CO2 as a future feedstock for fossil-free materials
