This conference will examine the future direction of carbon capture, utilisation and storage policy in the UK, with a focus on delivery timelines, market models, and the role of CCUS in industrial decarbonisation, regional development, and long-term net zero strategy. The agenda looks at key issues on both demand-side and supply-side.
It will bring key stakeholders and policymakers together to discuss immediate priorities following the confirmation of Track-1 funding in the 2025 Spending Review, and ahead of key decisions on Track-2 cluster sequencing expected later this year. We expect discussion to reflect targets, investment and wider plans for development outlined in the Industrial Strategy and the Infrastructure Strategy.
The Government’s recently published Carbon Budget and Growth Delivery Plan will also be discussed, which reaffirms CCUS as critical national infrastructure within the UK’s decarbonisation strategy. Delegates will assess practicalities and coordination challenges for delivering the next phase of deployment, as well as approaches to managing risk and securing investment for shared, open access transport and storage infrastructure.
An upcoming panel session with the new owners of PlantWorx, alongside the Event Director and Marketing Lead, to share an update on the future of the show.
The session will cover the move to the NEC, plans for indoor and outdoor spaces, live demonstrations and digging, key show features, the proposed floorplan, and what it means for exhibitors and visitors. There will also be a live Q&A with the team.
This is your opportunity to meet the new team, learn more, and ask any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you there!
