Abstract

Decarbonising industrial clusters is a critical component of the UK Government's efforts to transition to net zero by 2050 (2045 in Scotland). In its recently published (December 2023) Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) Vision, the UK Government argues that establishing a new CCUS industry could add £5BN to the economy by 2050, support 50,000 jobs by 2030 and create storage capacity equivalent to taking 6M cars off the road. Yet achieving these economic as well as environmental gains will require concerted efforts from across Government, industry, educational institutions, and others to address persisting skills and worker shortages
