Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage Innovation 2.0 call 2

£20 million in grant funding available for projects developing novel CCUS technology and processes that reduce the cost of deployment

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is supporting the deployment of advanced carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) technologies within the UK.

Up to £20 million grant funding is available over two calls to:

• support innovation in novel CCUS technology increasing its technology and commercial readiness level (TRL & CRL)
• demonstrate and de-risk next generation CCUS technologies to allow it to deploy commercially from 2025
• reduce the cost of deploying CCUS and create competitive pressure on current available technology

Find out more about the CCUS Innovation 2.0 competition call 2 and further details on the application process.

Projects for Call 2 will be split into three lots:

Lot 1 Mid Stage CCUS innovation

This lot is for projects developing and piloting mid-stage (TRL 3-5) CCUS innovation. For Lot 1 BEIS will consider grant applications of up to £1 million.

Lot 2 Late Stage CCUS innovation

This lot is for projects developing late-stage (TRL 6-8) CCUS technology, particularly demonstrating at intermediate (~100 tonnes CO2 per day) scale or greater at site. For Lot 2 BEIS will consider grant applications of up to £5 million.

Lot 3 Next Generation Carbon Capture Technology feasibility study

This lot is for industrial, waste or power site owners to analyse Next Generation Carbon Capture Technologies currently at TRL 3-8 to understand the feasibility of deploying these technologies at one of their UK-based sites. For Lot 3 BEIS will consider grant applications of up to £50,000.
