Question
To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to The Carbon Capture Crux: Lessons Learned report from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis.
Answer
The Scottish Government acknowledges the report, one of numerous recent ones on carbon capture utilisation and storage. As the report highlights, CCUS is an aggregate of technology applications that have been applied across varying sectors. As Scotland develops our ambitions for carbon capture and storage it’s crucial that we continue to expand the evidence base and build upon the lessons that have been learned over decades of CCS technology and projects.
