"Mr President, the Davies report gives important impetus to carbon capture and storage (CCS). It is five years since Parliament created a mechanism to fund CCS projects through the New Entrant Reserve (NER) mechanism, and we have still not got a single project up and running across Europe.
As you know, Mr President, we have in our region one of the most advanced schemes on the cards – the White Rose project – and now potential government investment in Drax power station to get CCS up and running. Today’s report will give a major boost to that.
What we now need to see is funding from the NER mechanism released to match that project, and we need a very clear commitment from the government to go ahead, because we have been dilly-dallying and dithering back home for several years now. We have still not got a commitment to go beyond an investigation and a research phase, when CCS is important for the future of tackling climate change in our own country and right across the planet."@en1
