Our latest report Markets & Mandates - Policy Scenarios for UK CCS Deployment & Exploring the Role of a Carbon Takeback Obligation in collaboration with Oxford Net Zero - University of Oxford and the Carbon Capture and Storage Association (CCSA), provides insights from over 20 expert stakeholders across government, industry, academia, and civil society on future policy scenarios for CCS deployment in the UK. The findings have broader implications for industrial decarbonisation strategy, producer accountability frameworks, and the development of mandate-based approaches to climate policy across different sectors.

Our UK priorities for 2025

  • Pioneering Geological Net Zero in UK Policy Architecture

    We're leading efforts to transform how the UK approaches climate targets by embedding Geological Net Zero principles in core policy frameworks. This groundbreaking work involves engaging with the Climate Change Committee, Academia, the Civil Service and Parliamentary Groups to prevent the 'lock-in' of temporary off-setting solutions in favour of durable net zero frameworks that will serve as the foundation of climate policy for the coming decades.

  • Beyond Fossil Fuels: A new North Sea Transition Framework

    Our innovative work on North Sea transition bridges traditionally opposed perspectives, creating evidence-based pathways that balance phase-out, clean-up, storage development, and renewable growth. We're developing policy mechanisms that transform extraction licenses into tools for climate accountability, positioning the UK as a potential global model for managing just transitions in fossil fuel producing regions.

  • Storage obligations & producer accountability to drive Net Zero

    We advance carbon storage obligations and producer accountability as credible, research-backed solutions to meet UK climate commitments. By developing cost-effective regulatory frameworks for CCS and CDR deployment, we're creating policies that align with government fiscal priorities while ensuring sufficient carbon storage capacity. Our work bridges academic rigour with practical implementation, offering policymakers an off-ramp from traditional subsidy approaches that can deliver on net zero targets while driving industrial innovation.
