ETI welcomes the Energy and Climate Change Committee's report on CCS

Andrew Green, the ETI Programme Manager for CCS, responding to the The Energy and Climate Change Committee's report on CCS published today, said:

“Making CCS work is vital for the UK in meeting our carbon targets affordably. Our own research has found that the costs of meeting the UK’s low-carbon targets could double to £60bn a year by 2050 at today’s prices without the use of CCS. Our research mirrors and supports much of the ECC’s report whose publication we welcome today. Current work is consistently showing the scale of benefits that CCS could deliver to the UK and a clear roadmap is needed for the industry to develop and prosper. Working from a robust evidence base, we hope that a clear policy framework can help to make the investment proposition for CCS attractive and begin to develop a momentum in this emerging industry, given the value it has the potential to deliver.”
