Meeting UK Energy and Climate needs: the role of carbon capture and storage

The Committee wants urgent Government action to ensure British expertise in CCS technology plays a leading role in mitigating CO2 emissions not just in the UK, but internationally. It warns there has been a worrying lack of strategic vision in Government decision making on this issue.

The Committee highlights the burgeoning consumption of fossil fuels in countries like India and China which will have a profound and potentially catastrophic impact on global atmospheric CO2 levels unless CCS is embraced now.
