Carbon Capture & Storage

What opportunities can come to the UK through the decarbonisation movement, specifically carbon capture? How fast is the UK adopting and implementing decarbonisation measures to meet net zero targets? How can the energy sector adapt to the change and develop a competitive supply chain for the UK and the global energy market? 

With the recent announcement that UK plans to reduce CO2 emissions significantly CCUS is essential to help the energy transition happen along with other carbon reduction implementations. This podcast will explore all of this in an informative discussion between leading trade associations EIC, CCSA and NECCUS.

Joining us in this discussion are the following speakers:
