Carbon capture and storage gets £20m 'sensible reboot'

Government scrapped 1bn plan in 2015 but now aims to build project within a decade

The UK wants to build its first project to capture and store carbon emissions from industry within the next decade, as part of a rebooted push by ministers to support the technology.

The government scrapped a 1bn carbon capture and storage (CCS) competition in 2015, with the then-chancellor George Osborne saying it was too costly. Earlier efforts had also collapsed.
