Carbon Tracker report warns that scaling up UK CCUS projects could increase LNG imports and exceed carbon budget.
A Carbon Tracker report warns that scaling up carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) projects in the UK, including 'blue' hydrogen and gas with abatement, could lead to increased demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports, causing the UK to exceed its carbon budget. Projects under the UK's net zero strategy may double domestic gas production by 2035, leading to higher LNG imports, especially from the US, which have high carbon emissions.
