National Low Emissions Coal Initiative
…up the identification and development of suitable long-term carbon dioxide storage sites within reasonable distances of major energy and industrial emission sources.
Post Combustion Capture (PCC) of Carbon Dioxide Technology project: The project aimed to progress PCC technology under the flue gas conditions that are common in Chinese coal fired power stations. The project looked at PCC process designs which provide lower energy requirements for the capture process.
Carbon Dioxide Infrastructure Assessment Project (CIAP): Provided the ability to identify potential onshore and offshore pipeline routes in and around Australia for transporting carbon dioxide to geosequestration storage sites.

Clean Growth Strategy and Industrial Strategy
The 2017 UK Clean Growth Strategy includes several key actions related to CCUS and achieving the UK’s fifth carbon budget.
In particular, the UK aims to “demonstrate international leadership in carbon capture usage and storage (CCUS), by collaborating with [their] global partners and investing up to £100 million in leading edge CCUS and industrial innovation to drive down costs; work in partnership with industry, through a new CCUS Council, to put [them] on a path to meet [their] ambition of having the option of deploying CCUS at scale in the UK, and to maximise its industrial opportunity; develop [their… -

ecoENERGY Technology Initiative
The ecoENERGY Technology initiative is a five-year programme which funds research, development and demonstration to support the development of the next-generation clean-energy technologies.
Key areas include knowledge and technologies for carbon capture and storage; new end-use technologies such as hydrogen and fuel cells, and for energy efficient buildings and industry; technologies for producing and using renewable energy from clean sources such as wind, solar, tidal, and biomass.
The initiative will help provide the new knowledge that will be essential to support the regulatory approach to the governments Clean Air Regulatory Agenda. -

5th Energy Technology Development Plan and Energy Technology Roadmap
The 5th Energy Technology Development Plan is Korea’s medium- to long-term R&D strategy for achieving carbon neutrality and energy security through a carbon-free energy technology ecosystem. It sets targets to raise energy technology self-reliance to 90% and the commercialisation rate to 50%, with expected economic spillover effects of KRW 59 trillion. The plan is structured around four strategies and 14 tasks covering the full energy value chain from supply to delivery systems and demand. Priority technologies include next-generation nuclear, SMRs, tandem solar cells, renewables, clean hydrogen, HVDC, AC/DC distribution, ESS, heat pumps…

Carbon Capture Storage project incentives
The Malaysian Government is implementing tax and trade incentives for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) activities:companies undertaking in-house CCS activity are exempted from the Investment Tax Allowance for 10 years, can benefit from tax deductions for pre-commencement expenses within 5 years from the start of operations and from full import duty and sales tax exemption on related CCS equipment from 2023 to 2027, and t; companies undertaking CCS services may benefit from similar incentives, as well as from a 70% income tax reduction for 10 years.

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… -

…USD 60 per tonne of CO2 used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) or other industrial uses of CO2, provided emissions reductions can be clearly demonstrated. The credit amount significantly increases for direct air capture (DAC) projects to USD 180 per tonne of CO2 permanently stored and USD 130 per tonne for used CO2. In addition, the 2022 changes reduce the capacity requirements for eligible projects: 18,750 tonnes per year for power plants (provided at least 75% of the CO2 is captured), 12,000 tonnes per year for other facilities, and 1,000 tonnes per year for DAC facilities.
