The East Coast Cluster (Teesside and Humber) is the largest cluster with a 30% share and an 18.0% CAGR, followed by HyNet North West at 25% and 17.8%, and Acorn in Scotland at 20% and 18.1%. Viking CCS is the fastest-growing cluster at an 18.2% CAGR with a 10% share, and the South Wales Industrial Cluster also holds 10%.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

The report profiles BP (UK), which is involved in several CCS projects including Net Zero Teesside; Equinor (Norway), a partner in the Northern Endurance Partnership; TotalEnergies (France), which is investing in the HyNet North West project; Shell (UK), which takes part in the Acorn CCS project in Scotland; Drax Group (UK), which is developing bioenergy with CCS at its power stations; and SSE Thermal (UK), which is involved in the Viking CCS project.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Government signals of reduced subsidies reduce the CAGR by an estimated 3.0 percentage points, and a lack of clarity on Track-2 project funding subtracts a further 2.0 percentage points. The report also cites public opposition to storage sites and technical challenges in CO2 transport, and notes a downside scenario of USD 4.20 billion by 2035 if Track-2 approvals slow.
