Public consultation: CCUS and offshore hydrogen

Regulatory proposals for carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) and offshore hydrogen production

HSE’s work supports innovation, productivity and economic growth in Great Britain and businesses that adopt effective, proportionate health and safety practices increase productivity and worker engagement. 

HSE’s strategy commits us to enabling industry to innovate safely to prevent major incidents, supporting the move towards Net Zero.

  • CCUS operations offshore and in pipelines
