Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage Cluster Sequencing Process - Track 2
…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… -

Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage Cluster Sequencing Process - Track 1
UK has the target of selecting 4 CCUS clusters for development by 2030. In November 2021, two clusters were selected under Track-1: HyNet and East Coast. Phase-1 was the selection of the clusters, while Phase-2 was the application of specific projects within those clusters. The shortlist of projects (Phase 2) was published in August 2022 with the final selection in March 2023 (3 in the East Coast Cluster and 5 in the HyNet Cluster)
In October 2024, the government announced up to GBP 21.7 billion of funding over 25 years for the two Track-1 clusters… -

Horizon 2020 funding for carbon capture, utilisation and storage
…to enable both Europe’s cement and lime industries to reduce their emissions dramatically and cost-effectively. LEILAC is based on an innovative carbon capture and storage technology that enables capture of the process emissions in cement production. The EUR 21 million (USD 23 million) project has received EUR 12 million (USD 13 million) via the H2020 programme.

Investment Tax Credit for Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS)
The Canadian government announced an investment tax credit for Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) projects in 2021, with details released in 2022. The incentive applies to CCUS projects that permanently stored captured CO2 via dedicated geological storage, or storage of CO2 in concrete. From 2022 through 2035, the tax credit rates will be set at: 60% for investment in equipment to capture CO2 in direct air capture projects, 50% for investment in equipment to capture CO2 in all other CCUS projects, 37.5% for investment in equipment for transportation, storage and use. To encourage the industry to move quickly…

Accelerating Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Technologies (ACT)
In 2016 the UK joined a consortium of 9 European countries to co-fund collaborative innovation projects into carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) called Accelerating CCS Technologies (ACT).ACT is a European Research Area Network (ERA-NET) Cofund, a tool established by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 programme for research and innovation. ERA-NET Cofund enables European countries to join forces when it comes to funding RD&D and innovation on subjects of high European interest. Under the scheme, European countries have provided EUR 25.34 million to support collaborative projects that can accelerate the deployment…

In March 2023, the Indonesian Government under the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources finalised a legal and regulatory framework for the implementation of Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) in oil and gas exploration and production activities. The framework relies on the holders of oil and gas leases to spearhead CO2 storage development and operation. Storage activities that include dedicated storage operations and those associated with enhanced hydrocarbon recovery are to be conducted within the existing lease areas, such as in depleted oil and gas fields. The framework also includes a transfer mechanism whereby the government assumes long-term…
