FREE WEBINAR | Where next for CCUS – Delivering Industrial Decarbonisation
Thursday 9th July 2026, 10:30 – 11:30 BST. Hosted by the Carbon Capture and Storage Association (CCSA).
Synopsis:
This event will provide an overview of current progress of Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) in the UK – covering projects that have reached financial close, as well as projects in planning and beyond 2030. Speakers will also discuss the role of CCUS in decarbonising many vital industrial sectors in the UK, such as steel, cement and energy from waste – as well as the different types of supportive revenue markets (low-carbon products market, carbon markets etc) and how these can be used to drive CCUS deployment in industrial sectors.
Chair:
