To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to support carbon capture and storage technology.

I refer the Honourable Member to the answer I gave on Tuesday 12^th October, to Question 901221. On 4th October, the government announced up to £21.7bn of available funding over 25 years to launch the UK’s Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage industry. We will provide further details on the next steps on CCUS, including Track-2 projects, following Phase 2 of the Spending Review.
