The independent Review into Greenhouse Gas Removals (GGRs) has published a report of its findings and recommendations to Government.

In February, the Government commissioned the independent review of GGRs and appointed Dr Alan Whitehead CBE as the independent Chair, to consider how options for GGRs, including large-scale Power Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) and Direct Air carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS), can assist the UK in meeting our net zero targets, out to 2050. The Review Terms of Reference were published on gov.uk https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/greenhouse-gas-removals-ggrs-independent-review/independent-review-of-greenhouse-gas-removals-terms-of-reference

The independent review has engaged extensively with industry and stakeholders through a call for evidence, industry roundtables and parliamentary Net Zero APPG.

The Government welcomes this report’s findings and will consider the recommendations as we get on with our clean energy superpower mission, which will not only tackle the climate crisis, but will boost our energy security, protect households from energy price spikes, and create thousands of skilled jobs across the country.

Greenhouse Gas Removal technologies will play a key role in achieving our net zero target and it’s important we consider how best to deploy these.

I wish to thank Dr Alan Whitehead for undertaking the Review and to everyone who contributed.
