Conclusion
Scotland and the rest of the UK will not be able to deliver on their net zero commitments without carbon capture and storage (CCUS): a factor that is critical to the success of the hydrogen industry in Scotland. Carbon capture and storage and hydrogen production will both be required, in conjunction with other renewables, to achieve a just transition from oil and gas.
Government response summary AI-generated
CCUS is a priority and the government is progressing at pace with a £20 billion funding package, launching the CCUS Track-2 process and recognising the potential benefits of the Scottish cluster, to which over £40m in development funding has been allocated.
