So why do we think carbon capture should NOT be funded at the expense of genuine climate solutions?
First, there are technical issues and it is still unproven - it is a massive gamble!
Second, new gas projects (including 'blue hydrogen') + CCS bring big problems with methane emissions.

Bad news the Treasury wants to prioritise nuclear and carbon capture above home insulation and heat pumps. We need emissions cuts now: nuclear's track record is of long delays and cost increases, and carbon capture is always a tech that will deliver 'tomorrow'.

BUT it recommends a major program of new fossil fuel infrastructure—giving Big Oil exactly what it wants.

BECCS combines the problems of forest destruction, the emissions from shipping wood pellets AND the problems of trying to capture carbon. Carbon capture has a record of repeated failure and underachievement.
Capturing CO2 also uses 20-30% of a power plant’s generating capacity, requiring more fuel!
