Call for submissions from organisations wanting to take part in
Phase-2 of the CCUS Cluster Sequencing Process.
Cluster sequencing for
carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) deployment: Phase-2
guidance
Cluster sequencing for CCUS
deployment: Phase-2: clarification questions and
responses
Details
22 March 2022: Phase-2 eligible projects
announced
We have published a list of projects eligible
for Phase-2 of the Cluster Sequencing Process.
This call for submissions is now closed.
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 could apply for Phase-2
Phase-2 was open to Power, Industrial Carbon Capture and Hydrogen
production projects which meet the technology specific
eligibility criteria. The detailed guidance outlines the
eligibility criteria and application process for each of these
technologies.
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 were invited to complete an Expression of Interest (EoI)
for a separate process that ran in parallel with the Phase-2
process.
Application details
- the deadline for all expressions of interest except the GGR
version was 23:59pm, 3 December 2021
- the deadline for GGR projects was 6 January 2022
