- MOET – Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a key component to support the decarbonising the UK’s economy by 2050. The overall ambition of this project is to better characterise the Palaeogene succession in the UKCNS from a regional Carbon Storage perspective. The envisaged work is intended to be regional in scope such that a fundamental understanding of the storage systems can be developed at a basin scale.
