Every project like this makes a difference to reducing our carbon emissions, and this important work supports our aim to reduce our carbon emissions to net-zero.
The potential of carbon capture‘Netting’ residual emissions via carbon capture is a key part of the nation’s long-term climate strategy, as well as broader global net-zero goals.
Climate scientists have repeatedly stated that man-made carbon capture is essential to limiting the global temperature increase in line with the Paris Agreement.
The UK Government is aiming for at least 20 million tonnes of CO2e to be captured and stored annually by 2030, predominantly through large carbon capture (CCUS) projects at industrial clusters.
Donald Macphail, chief operating officer, treatment, at Veolia UK, commented: “Carbon capture is one of the tools available to help decarbonise residual emissions where they cannot yet be avoided.
