Oral Answers to Questions

Andrew Cooper Excerpts

Tuesday 17th December 2024 Commons Chamber

[Ed Miliband]

I am very sympathetic towards this issue, and we are in discussions with our colleagues across Government. Watch this space.

[Andrew Cooper (Mid Cheshire) (Lab)]

Cheshire is leading the way in CCUS, whether it is in hydrogen production, where it is providing the means of transition as a new industry is established, or in hard-to-abate sectors such as glass or cement production, where CCUS is a vital decarbonisation component. Our strategy is creating jobs, growing our skills base and unlocking a low-carbon future. Does the Minister agree that it will not be possible to get to net zero without CCUS?

[Sarah Jones]

That is absolutely right.
