Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Gwyn Prosser (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 7 January 2010 on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change.
Carbon Capture And Storage
- Question
- What assessment has my right hon. Friend made of the overall job creation potential of CCS over the next five to 10 years? What will he do to ensure that such jobs are created right across the regions, and not just in the areas local to the plants?
- Answer
-
My hon. Friend is absolutely right—across all regions there are opportunities relating to low carbon and, in a number of regions, relating to carbon capture and storage. We shall shortly look at where the CCS clusters can be, and how we can take proper industrial advantage of CCS. Estimates suggest that tens of thousands of jobs could be created in this area.
