As we transition to a low carbon economy, we will still be reliant on oil and gas for years to come, for many of our essential products and as renewals continue to scale up and new technologies emerge. Therefore to avoid any more emissions being released into the atmosphere, we need to deploy CCUS to ensure we have a reliable and low carbon energy system.
CCUS has been used in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects, mainly in the US. All the European and UK projects that are moving towards deployment are not used for EOR.
