Clean Growth Strategy - Consultation Response: SCCS response to the UK Government consultation on the Clean Growth Strategy

Abstract

Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS) welcomes the UK Government's Clean Growth Strategy, and its commitment to carbon capture and storage (CCS) as a means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly from industry, and as a means of stimulating economic growth. However, we have some concerns that the strategy does not reflect the urgency with which CCS needs to be progressed, and that the level of investment proposed will not be sufficient to support the development of this vital industry.
