This was announced in a press release from Eni. The process includes two tranches with different start times, one by 2025 (track one projects) and one by 2027 (track two projects). The fund is part of a broader £12 billion investment plan provided by the British government’s “Ten Point Plan” in November 2020 with the aim of leading the UK towards an energy transition and promoting a “green industrial revolution”. In addition to CCS, the plan also intends to promote other technologies such as offshore wind, blue and green hydrogen, nuclear power, electric mobility and home energy efficiency. (continues) (com)
