Carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS): duties and functions of an economic regulator for CO2 transport and storage

This consultation seeks views on proposed duties, powers, functions and objectives of an economic regulator for carbon dioxide (CO2) transport and storage networks, to inform the continued development of carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) policy and legislative proposals.

It follows our 2019 consultation on business models for CCUS, the government response to which set out that an independent body is likely to be required to oversee the development of the CO2 transport and storage network and support its deployment.

This consultation will be of interest to:

• investors and developers involved in potential CCUS projects
• the industrial and energy sectors more widely
• NGOs and other organisations with an interest in climate and energy
• regulatory bodies and authorities with an interest in CCUS

See the BEIS consultation privacy notice.

Please do not send responses by post to the department at the moment as we may not be able to access them.
