UK underspending on carbon capture storage

The UK has spent just £6.4m on research into Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) since 2004, according to figures released by the Department of Innovation Universities and Skills (DIUS) and the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) this month. More than €1.25bn of EU money was also recently ring fenced for CCS projects and the UK hopes to gain a share of it to fund a second CCS demonstration plant in the UK.
