CCUS: market engagement on cluster sequencing - government response

Details

The ‘Ten point plan for a green industrial revolution’ sets out an ambition to deploy CCUS at scale in 2 of the UK’s industrial clusters by the mid-2020s, and a further 2 by 2030.

Phase-1 of the cluster sequencing process will identify and sequence CCUS clusters which are suited to deployment in the mid-2020s. These clusters will have the first opportunity to negotiate for support from the government’s CCUS programme.

Phase-1 is open to cluster organisations which:

  • are located in the UK
  • are capable of deploying by 2030
  • meet the definition of a CCUS cluster (see the guidance for more information)

How to apply

The deadline for expressions of interest was 21 May 2021.

Guidance on the submission process beyond this point is included in the guidance document.

Help and guidance
