The government is committing billions of pounds to an “unproven” green technology for reducing planet-warming gases without considering the impact on consumers’ bills, MPs have warned.
Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) facilities prevent carbon dioxide, produced by industry, being released into the atmosphere by capturing and storing it underground.
In October, the government pledged nearly £22bn for CCUS facilities and three quarters of the money will be raised from consumer bills.
