Developing our carbon capture and storage (CCS) industry

The consultation asked for views on carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure (carbon dioxide pipelines and storage sites) - third party access and how best to organise long-term investment. The consultation set out proposals for transposing third party access requirements of an EU CCS directive. We asked for views on our proposed approach, draft regulations and the impact assessment.

The Government’s consultation response includes a summary of responses and announces plans to consult on guidance for the regulations.
