Details

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) supported the deployment of advanced carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) technologies within the UK.

This competition is closed to applications. We published summaries of projects awarded funding through Call 2.

Up to 拢20 million grant funding was available over 2 calls to:

  • support innovation in novel聽CCUS聽technology increasing its technology and commercial readiness level (TRL听补苍诲 CRL)
  • demonstrate and de-risk next generation聽CCUS聽technologies to allow it to deploy commercially from 2025
  • reduce the cost of deploying聽CCUS听补苍诲 create competitive pressure on current available technology

Projects for Call 2 was split into 3 lots:

  • Lot 1 Mid Stage聽CCUS聽innovation for projects developing and piloting mid-stage (TRL听3-5)听CCUS聽innovation. For Lot 1聽BEIS considered grant applications of up to 拢1 million
  • Lot 2 Late Stage聽CCUS聽innovation for projects developing late-stage (TRL听6-8)听CCUS聽technology, particularly demonstrating at intermediate (~100 tonnes CO2 per day) scale or greater at site. For Lot 2聽BEIS聽considered grant applications of up to 拢5 million
  • Lot 3 Next Generation Carbon Capture Technology feasibility study: This was for industrial, waste or power site owners to analyse Next Generation Carbon Capture Technologies currently at TRL 3-8 to understand the feasibility of deploying these technologies at one of their UK-based sites. For Lot 3 BEIS considered grant applications of up to 拢50,000
