Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage Cluster Sequencing Process - Track 2
UK has the target of selecting 4 CCUS clusters for development by 2030. In July 2023, two clusters were selected under Track-2: Acorn (North East) and Viking (Humber). Phase-1 was the selection of the clusters, while Phase-2 was the application of specific projects within those clusters. Combined storage capacity of 18 Mtpa
Acorn captures industrial CO2 emissions from assets around the St Fergus Terminal, expected to use 175 miles of repurposed pipelines and store at least 5 Mtpa. Viking will capture CO2 from industrial assets in the Humber region and plans to capture 10 Mtpa by 2030 and 15 Mtpa by 2035. FID for Viking is planned for 2025
In June 2025 development funding of GBP 200 million provided to both projects subject to business case. As the project develops, funding will also provide financial cover for the National Gas SCO₂T Connect project
