Initial BECCS plant target of 2030 will not be met, future support unclear.

Conclusion
The government had initially planned for BECCS plant to begin operating at scale in 2030 as part of its broader CCUS programme.68 However, as the first phase of the CCUS programme (known as Track 1) does not include a BECCS plant, this target date will not how be achieved.69 DESNZ has not set a revised target date and it is not clear whether a BECCS plant will be supported in a later phase of the CCUS programme.70
