Job description:

The role and our team

Would you like to contribute to the delivery of major infrastructure projects addressing climate change? In 2019, the UK became the first major economy in the world to legislate to have "net zero" carbon emissions by 2050, meaning we will no longer be a net emitter of greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change.

Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) can play an essential role in reaching net zero. It can be an engine to drive cleaner, sustainable growth, transforming our industrial heartlands. It can also unlock new jobs and innovative businesses, raising productivity and competitiveness across the UK.

Our team works collaboratively with Transport and Storage (T&S) projects developers and other government departments to collectively advance CCUS deployment, both in the UK and internationally.

Our work is at the heart of some of Government's most complex and high-profile priorities, including industrial decarbonisation and meeting net zero.
