CCUS has for a long time been the final piece of the jigsaw needed to hit net zero, and the UK's energy network companies welcome the Prime Minister's recent Ten Point Plan commitment to invest.
Reaching net zero emissions means investing in the innovative solutions and projects that will make it happen. As ENA's Gas Goes Green programme is delivering the net zero energy system, the UK's energy networks welcome the Prime Minister's ambition on Carbon Capture, Usage, and Storage as well as hydrogen.
Innovative technologies such as CCUS have for a long time been the final piece of the jigsaw needed to hit net zero, and will help unlock the volumes of hydrogen needed to decarbonise the UK's hardest to decarbonise sectors.
