This Practice Note provides an overview of the business model developed by the UK government to support the deployment of power generation with bioenergy carbon capture and storage, also known as power BECCS. It covers the key features of the power BECCS business model, including the revenue support contract and key legislation and regulation underpinning the model. For more information on:•planning framework applicable to CCUS projects, see Practice Note: Carbon capture usage and storage—planning and policy•permitting requirements for CCUS projects, see Practice Note: Carbon capture usage and storage—permitting requirementsWe also publish detailed textbook commentary on CCUS and other aspects of the net zero energy transition. For further legal analysis and commentary on CCUS, see textbook: Carbon Capture and Storage. For broad commentary on the regulation, consenting and incentivisation of the energy transition under the laws of England and Wales, including UK CCUS, see also: Collinson and Hockman on Energy Law: Regulating, Consenting

This Practice Note provides an overview of the business model developed by the UK government to support the deployment of power generation projects with carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS).

This Practice Note provides an overview of the business model developed by the UK government to support the deployment of carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) transport and storage (T&S) projects. It covers the key features of the T&S business model, including the economic licence overseen by Ofgem and revenue support arrangements, as well as the main legislation and regulation underpinning the model.For more information on:•planning framework applicable to CCUS T&S projects, see Practice Note: Carbon capture usage and storage—planning and policy•permitting requirements for CCUS T&S projects, see Practice Note: Carbon capture usage and storage—permitting requirementsWe also publish detailed textbook commentary on CCUS and other aspects of the net zero energy transition.

This Practice Note provides an overview of the business models developed by the UK government to support the deployment of Industrial Carbon Capture (ICC) and Waste Industrial Carbon Capture (Waste ICC), as part of the UK’s carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) commercial and legal framework. It covers the key features of the ICC and Waste ICC business models, including the revenue support contracts and key legislation and regulation underpinning each model.For more information on the:•planning framework applicable to CCUS projects, see Practice Note: Carbon capture usage and storage—planning and policy•permitting requirements for CCUS projects, see Practice Note: Carbon capture usage and storage—permitting requirementsWe also publish detailed textbook commentary on CCUS and other aspects of the net zero energy transition.

This Practice Note provides a detailed overview of the Contracts for Difference (CfD) subsidy regime introduced under the Electricity Market Reform (EMR) to support the deployment of renewable and other low carbon electricity generation. It includes details of CfD support that has been awarded to date, the key entities involved in the CfD regime, the statutory mechanisms for granting CfD support, and the key terms of the standard form contract granted to renewable generators who win CfD support through the competitive allocation mechanism. The Practice Note also explores ancillary subsidies which are connected to the CfD regime, such as the Clean Industry Bonus (CIB) for offshore wind projects.

This Practice Note provides a detailed explanation of the Smart Export Guarantee, which came into force on 1 January 2020. The Smart Export Guarantee is a regulated mechanism to provide owners of small scale renewable installations in Great Britain with a guaranteed contract for selling surplus electricity they generate. Among other things it discusses the terms of power purchase under the Smart Export Guarantee, the role of electricity suppliers in the Smart Export Guarantee mechanism, and technology types that are eligible for the Smart Export Guarantee. This Practice Note has been written in Partnership with Matthew Brown, Partner at CMS.

This Practice Note is an introduction to carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) in the UK. It covers what CCUS is conceptually and the key types of technologies it encompasses; the key drivers and obstacles for CCUS uptake in the UK; the development of CCUS clusters and government policy to support CCUS deployment; and key government funding support for CCUS projects.For more information on:•the planning framework applicable to CCUS projects, see Practice Note: Carbon capture usage and storage—planning and policy•permitting requirements for CCUS projects, see Practice Note: Carbon capture usage and storage—permitting requirementsAs explained in more detail below, the UK government has developed a number of business models to address market barriers and facilitate private investment into early-stage UK CCUS projects. For more information on: •the business model developed to support deployment of CCUS transport and storage (T&S) projects in the UK, see Practice Note: Carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) projects—UK business model for transport and storage (T&S)•the
