Carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) will play a vital role in meeting our net zero greenhouse gas emissions target by 2050, supporting both our Industrial Strategy and the revitalisation of the economies of the UK\u2019s industrial areas. The Government is committed to deploying CCUS in the 2020s.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Oil and Gas Authority issued its first CO2<\/sub> storage licence to Pale Blue Dot Energy (Acorn) Ltd (PBD) for the Acorn Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Project in 2018.<\/p>

<\/p>

In order to support the development of potential CO2<\/sub> storage sites, the Government invested £2.5 million in the Energy Technologies Institute\u2019s (ETI) CO2<\/sub> Storage Appraisal Project which looked in detail at eight potential CO2<\/sub> storage sites[1]. The UK also has the world-leading CO2-stored database[2] which is hosted and developed by the British Geological Survey and provides the data for over 500 potential offshore CO2<\/sub> storage sites around the UK.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are working closely with North Sea countries through the North Sea Basin Taskforce to share best practice and cooperate on North Sea CO2<\/sub> storage. In October 2019, we cooperated with Norway and the Netherlands to achieve a provisional amendment to the London Protocol, allowing for the cross-border transport of CO2<\/sub> for permanent storage, such as in the North Sea \u2013 a key breakthrough for UK projects and facilitating international CCUS deployment<\/p>

The UK\u2019s offshore oil and gas industry supports almost 300,000 jobs, of which four in ten are in Scotland. We believe that the North Sea oil and gas industry has a key role to play as we move to a Net Zero economy. We will support this transition with a transformational oil and gas Sector Deal. BEIS officials have already held preliminary discussions with industry to discuss how such a Sector Deal could enable the sector to play a leading role in the energy transition.

The moratorium applies to operations that require Hydraulic Fracturing Consent.
