UK ETS CCS Pipelines Regulation
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero is developing regulatory framework for carbon capture and storage (CCS) pipelines that cross UK borders, integrating them into the UK Emissions Trading Scheme. This addresses how CO2 transport and storage infrastructure should be governed to support net-zero commitments while managing cross-boundary coordination and economic regulation. The policy is currently active with recent focus on evolving the economic regulation model for CO2 storage operations.
