CCS funding attracts 16 bidders
At least 16 companies are interested in participating in Britain’s £1bn competition to fund one or more carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, the government said yesterday, hoping to encourage competitors to link projects together. Companies including Shell, National Grid and Centrica have signalled an intention to apply for funding but the government does not expect all registered bidders to make a full application by 3 July.
