Carbon Capture and Storage
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether he has had recent discussions with the Scottish Government on the potential role that existing oil and gas infrastructure will have in the delivery of his carbon capture, utilisation and storage policies.
- Answer
-
The Government is engaging with the Scottish Government on the development and implementation of all aspects of CCUS, including the re-purposing of oil and gas infrastructure. The Government’s proposed update to Change of Use Relief through the Energy Bill seeks to remove potential barriers to re-purposing, and is in large part a direct consequence of the positive engagement held with the Acorn CCUS project in Scotland.
