I know the hon. Gentleman has a particular interest in carbon capture and storage, with one of the shortlisted bidders (Captain Clean Energy) located in Grangemouth.

The Government are absolutely committed to carbon capture and storage. Our £1 billion commercialisation programme aims to support practical experience of commercial scale CCS and drive forward this important industry. The competition is progressing well and we will be making further announcements this spring.
