UK Announces £22 Billion Carbon Capture Investment to Create 4,000 Jobs in Teesside and Merseyside
Oct 4, 2024, 08:04 AM
Ed Miliband, the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, has announced a £22 billion investment in carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects across the UK. This initiative aims to create 4,000 jobs in Teesside and Merseyside, marking a significant step towards achieving net zero emissions. The government asserts that this technology will stabilize the electricity grid and ensure energy security as the country transitions away from coal, gas, and nuclear power. Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized that this investment represents the 'politics of national renewal,' aiming to decarbonize without deindustrializing. Rachel Reeves highlighted the £21.7 billion investment in Teessworks, which is expected to transform the region. The project has received mixed reactions, with some praising the job creation and investment, while others criticize the cost and question its effectiveness.
