Summary

The UK ETS Authority is seeking views on making regulatory requirements for cross-boundary carbon capture and storage (CCS) pipelines less complex, burdensome and costly.

This consultation ran from
5pm on 12 March 2026 to 11:59pm on 4 June 2026

Consultation description

The Authority is seeking feedback on options being considered to streamline the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) regulatory requirements for cross-boundary CCS pipelines.

The options aim to reduce the number of UK ETS permits a CCS pipeline crossing into multiple jurisdictions will require, which could simplify the monitoring and enforcement requirements for both operators and regulators.

The consultation is aimed at anyone with an interest in CCS policy in the UK ETS, especially companies who plan to operate CCS pipelines.
