<p>The Government is continually monitoring the evidence base relating to Greenhouse
Gas Removal technologies (GGRs). Additionally it commissioned a review by the Royal
Society and Royal Academy of Engineering on GGRs, published in September 2018, which
includes specific assessment of the risks and benefits of the different GGR options.</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><p>BEIS has held constructive discussions with UKRI about the possibility
of new research funding for GGR demonstrators.</p>
