CCUS is one of very few available technologies which can decarbonise hard-to-abate industries such as fertiliser, refining, cement, lime, chemicals, iron & steel enabling the production of low carbon.
It provides a source of flexible, low-carbon power generation, alongside renewables, which will make an important contribution to a resilient net zero power mix.
CCUS represents one of the main routes for producing low-carbon hydrogen, which can be used to decarbonise industry, industrial heating, as well as transport.
Included in CCUS technologies are greenhouse gas removals methods such as DACs, BECCS and WECCS which will be critical to meet climate goals.
