Abstract

In line with the Ten Point Plan for Green Industrial Revolution, implementation of the UK Government’s CCUS ambitions are progressing with Track 2 CCUS project decisions made in early 2023, underpinned by the evolution of the BEIS CCUS business models. The 2018 CCUS Action Plan has set out UK Government focus on retaining direct and supply chain jobs supported by regionally clustered industries that can decarbonise by capturing CO2. Government analysis suggests that the wider set of activities associated with deploying and operating CCUS in the UK could potentially support around 50,000 jobs by 2030. However, the UK Government’s Net Zero Strategy also recognises that efforts to decarbonise the UK will put new demands and require significant changes in the UK labour market, with one in five jobs likely to be affected. Therefore, this research aim to understand how current and likely persisting labour market challenges may impact the deployment and operation of Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) projects across the UK’s regional industry clusters
