<p>We agree with the need for further research, development and demonstration of early-stage
greenhouse gas removal methods, as well as the need to look how best to incentivise
responsible deployment. The Department is addressing these recommendations by conducting
a more detailed study of different policy options for incentivising removals, and
through constructive discussions with the UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) about
the possibility of new research funding for demonstrators in the near future.</p><p>BEIS
is co-funding an £8.6 million GGR research programme with UK Research & Innovation
(UKRI) which will continue until 2021. In addition, projects for some GGR approaches
are in scope for both our £20 million Carbon Capture and Utilisation Demonstration
(CCUD) Programme and £24 million Call for Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS)
Innovation. The details of these successful CCUS and CCUD projects will be announced
in due course.</p>
