Westminster Energy, Environment & Transport Forum Keynote Seminar - Future prospects for Carbon Capture and Storage in the UK
• Agenda includes discussion on the next steps for CCS development in Scotland; and
• Contribution from Simon Coote, Head of Energy Industries and Innovation, The Scottish Government.
Overall, areas for discussion:
• The next stage of policy development for CCS;
• Fitting CCS into the UK’s climate change agenda and re-assessing the business model for CCS;
• The CCS research base and technical challenges for future delivery;
• Examining key priorities for getting projects moving forwards: project management, business support and investment;
• Next steps for utilising existing infrastructure and pipelines in the North Sea, including sharing in an industry cluster;
• Assessing government’s role in CCS, and an NAO perspective on past programmes;
• Working with UK and international partners to deliver CCS, with a case study from Alberta, Canada; and
• Capitalising on carbon mitigation technologies in the industrial sector, including a case study from Teesside Collective.
Context:
• Timed as the Government considers responses to its consultation on proposals to close unabated coal power stations by 2025;
• With BEIS due to release a new emissions reduction plan in February, announced during a BEIS committee inquiry into the work of the new department;
• The report from the cross-party Parliamentary Advisory Group on CCS, chaired by Lord Oxburgh;
• Lessons from both the Peterhead and White Rose schemes for future decision-making;
• In light of Brexit, and MPs’ doubts about the UK being able to meet its climate change commitments without investment in CCS; and
• A recent ETI report highlighting that partnering CCS with bioenergy could lead to negative net emissions whilst producing electricity, heat and power.
