Energy Transition Now Podcast
The ‘Energy Transition Now’ podcast is a series of 1:1 discussions on the transition to a net-zero emissions energy system with stakeholders in the industry who are part of the change. We explore the changing market dynamics, the opportunities and challenges ahead for the industry, and what this means for different actors.
In this mini-series we explore the status and potential of CCUS. Our discussion focuses on the policy and regulatory changes that are driving markets forward, as well as the range of challenges that remain. The focus of the conversation is on the EU and the UK – markets that have made significant strides in adopting CCUS – and how they compare to other global markets. We also speak with wider industry stakeholders to broaden the perspective of what is to come.
