Ofwat yesterday confirmed it will continue to provide ring-fenced funding for further investigations into four strategic regional water resource solutions in England. These proposed solution
The UK government must commit to the wide-scale deployment of greenhouse gas removal technologies by 2030 so it can meet its climate change obligations, according to a report by the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC).
The removal technologies explored by the NIC fit into two categories: extracting carbon dioxide directly out of the air and bioenergy with carbon capture technology (processing biomass to recapture carbon dioxide absorbed).
In both cases the captured carbon dioxide is then stored permanently out of the atmosphere, typically under the seabed.
The report sets out how the engineered removal and storage of carbon dioxide offers the most realistic way to mitigate the final slice of emissions expected to remain by the 2040s from sources that do not currently have a decarbonisation solution, such as aviation and agriculture.

Anglian Water is embarking on a huge £630million investment programme for the financial year ahead.
The largest investment ever planned for a single year will be spent across the entire East of England, which is the driest and one of the fastest-growing parts of the country.
The funds will be ploughed into areas of work specifically aimed at improving river quality, moving further towards the goal of net zero carbon emissions and preparing the region to meet the urgent challenges of climate change and population growth.
Anglian Water is aiming to make scenes like this a thing of the past with £630m investment.
