While day-to-day regulatory decisions will be made independently by the economic regulator, policy direction for CCUS will continue to be directed by the Government. This section provides that the Secretary of State may designate a strategy and policy statement for CCUS. Such a statement would set out the strategic priorities for CCUS policy; the particular outcomes to be achieved as a result of the implementation of that policy; and the roles and responsibilities of persons who are involved in implementing that policy or who have other functions that are affected by it.
