Written Question
Carbon Capture and Storage
Friday 7th February 2025

Asked by: Charlie Maynard (Liberal Democrat - Witney)

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will make it his policy that Carbon Capture and Storage plans are assessed under principle H of schedule B of the Subsidy Control Act 2022.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

Where a subsidy relates to the decarbonisation of emissions linked to industrial activities in the United Kingdom, My Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State is required by the Subsidy Control Act 2022 to consider Principle H – it is not a question of policy - and he will continue to comply with his statutory duties in this regard.
