Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what powers his Department has to ensure that carbon capture, usage and storage clusters selected onto track 1 in the cluster sequencing process deliver the economic benefits proposed in their Phase 1 applications.
Information in Phase 1 submissions has been used to identify those clusters to be sequenced onto Track-1 for deployment in the mid-2020s. This will be subject to negotiations to determine whether they represent value for money to the taxpayer and affordability considerations.
