The Government has launched Track-2 of the Carbon Capture Usage and Storage (CCUS) cluster sequencing process which aims to establish two CCUS clusters, contributing to the ambition to capture 20-30 mega-tonnes of CO2 per year across the economy by 2030.

The expression of interest application window for Track-2 has now closed. The Government will provide an update on next steps in the summer.
