The UK is pursuing carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a key part of its efforts to decarbonize its economy and energy sector while maintaining energy security and affordability. It has a comprehensive CCS program that includes a £1 billion capital competition to fund initial CCS projects, support for ongoing costs through contracts-for-difference, research and development funding to reduce costs, and international collaboration on knowledge sharing. The program aims to make CCS-equipped power plants cost competitive with other low-carbon technologies and establish CCS as a major part of the UK's low-carbon energy mix by 2030 and beyond.
