Climate Change: Carbon Capture and Storage

Lord Jenkin of Roding
asked Her Majesty's Government:

How the carbon capture and storage competition plant being promoted by the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform will manage carbon dioxide transport and storage. [HL1822]

The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office & Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (Lord Jones of Birmingham)
The management of the carbon dioxide transport and storage elements of the CCS demonstration plant being supported by the Government is a matter for the project developer. Plans for the transport and storage elements will be assessed as part of the competitive process.
