What is the cost of implementing at-scale carbon capture and use technology in UK industrial sites, and how can costs be reduced?

Background

BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate action through strong international leadership.
