Decarbonisation Readiness Consultation - Department for Energy Security & Net Zero

Deadline: 24 April 2023
The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero has published a consultation on an expansion of the Carbon Capture Readiness requirements in England and supporting technical documents.

They are seeking views on a proposed significant expansion of the Carbon Capture Readiness requirements, including removal of the 300MW threshold, the inclusion of low-carbon hydrogen as an additional decarbonisation technology and moving the policy from the planning regime to environmental permitting.

As part of this expansion, they are proposing to rename the Carbon Capture Readiness requirements to the Decarbonisation Readiness requirements, to reflect the expanded scope.

This consultation builds on a call for evidence that was held on the same topic in 2021.

The consultation closes on April 24 at 11:59pm.

Responses should be submitted via citizen space.

Or to the following email address: Electricity.security@beis.gov.uk

An open invite stakeholder workshop will be held towards the end of the consultation period.

Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS) MOOC – Climate Change: Carbon Capture and Storage

Deadline: No expiration date
Opportunity type: Online course
Organisation: SCCS
Location: Online
Application deadline: Available online

Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS) is launching it’s MOOC, or Massive Open Online Course, on 1st November 2022 on ‘Climate Change: Carbon Capture and Storage’.


The five-week course, taught by leading experts at the University of Edinburgh, will explore carbon capture and storage (CCS), a set of technologies that can radically rein in CO2 emissions and help nations reach net zero by 2050.


The course, which has seen nearly 25,000 participants from across the world sign up for previous runs, begins on 1 November and places CCS in the context of climate change, global energy and economics, the use of fossil fuels and global climate policy. The world’s first such course to cover CCS and climate change, it has been developed for those with no prior knowledge and this year, for the first time, the course will also be available in Mandarin.


Watch the introductory video and register


Course participants will learn about:




  • how to protect the atmosphere, with CCS technology, from an excess of CO2;

  • the uniqueness of CCS to complement other low-carbon technologies;

  • the potential to make fossil fuels “safe to use” in the context of the Paris Climate Change Agreement of 2015;

  • key sectors of the global economy, where CCS can contribute to deep reductions in emissions;

  • how CCS can unlock carbon negative solutions, which will need to be used before mid-century;

  • the scientific principles of climate mitigation technologies;

  • the key elements of geology for permanently, and safely, disposing of CO2 underground;

  • the international state-of-play and scale of the industry in the 21st century.


What is a MOOC? The University of Edinburgh has a range of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which are freely accessible and open-licensed short courses delivered online. On completion, there is the option to gain a Verified Certificate. https://www.ed.ac.uk/studying/moocs
