Question

To ask the President of COP26, what recent assessment he has made of the role of carbon capture and storage in meeting the UK's climate change and COP26 commitments.

Carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) will of course play a role in meeting the UK’s 2050 net zero commitment. As we announced in our Ten Point Plan in November 2020, our aim is to establish CCUS in at least two industrial clusters by the mid-2020s and a further two by 2030, subject to value for money and affordability considerations.
