Role of the Group

The purpose of the CCUS Council is to review progress and support the government’s ambition to deploy CCUS from the mid-2020s and at scale during the 2030s. This is essential to the UK achieving its commitment to net zero by 2050.

  • review the work of the CCUS Supply Chain working group and support development of technologies
  • provide guidance to members to improve public engagement on CCUS and encourage diversity and inclusion in the sector
