Details
The Ten point
plan for a green industrial revolution sets out an ambition
to deploy CCUS at scale in 2 of the UK’s industrial clusters by
the mid-2020s, and a further 2 by 2030 in order to help the UK
meet our net zero and Carbon Budget 6 targets.
Phase-1 of the Cluster Sequencing Process identified and
sequenced CCUS clusters which are suited to deployment in the
mid-2020s (known as Track-1). On 19 October, Hynet and the East
Coast Cluster were announced as Track-1
Clusters.
We also announced the Scottish Cluster as a reserve cluster if a
back-up is needed. A reserve cluster is one which met the
eligibility criteria and performed to a good standard against the
evaluation criteria. As such, we will continue to engage with the
Scottish Cluster throughout Phase-2 of the sequencing process, to
ensure it can continue its development and planning. This means
that if government chooses to discontinue engagement with a
cluster in Track-1, we can engage with this reserve cluster
instead.
Who can apply for Phase-2
Phase-2 is open to Power, Industrial Carbon Capture and Hydrogen
production projects which meet the technology specific
eligibility criteria. Detailed guidance on the eligibility
criteria and application process for each of these technologies
can be found in the Guidance document.
Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) technologies such as Bioenergy
Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) and Direct
Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS)
technologies with an interest in requesting access to Track 1
clusters are invited to complete an Expression of Interest (EoI)
for a separate process that aims to run in parallel with the
Phase-2 process.
How to apply
The first step is for the Project Representative to complete an
expression of interest form and send it to the relevant email
address below:
The deadline for expressions of interest is 23:59pm on 3 December
2021.
Guidance on the submission process up to and beyond this point is
included in the Guidance document.
