The UK government’s recent announcement of a £22 billion investment into carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) presents a significant opportunity for industries to reduce emissions and drive sustainable growth. Olsights with extensive experience in supporting companies understand CCUS technology & drivers, is well placed to get involved helping these projects succeed by providing invaluable support for mapping and managing CCUS infrastructure.

Using the Olsights Eye allows the planning and deployment of CO₂ transport networks to be quickly optimised. Precise geographic visualisation of carbon transport routes, ensures efficient integration of new CCUS sites with existing infrastructure. Olsights’ data-driven approach assists stakeholders in identifying key risks, potential bottlenecks, and optimisation strategies for carbon storage and utilisation. This capability is particularly relevant as the UK prepares to implement CCUS across critical industrial sectors in Teesside and Merseyside.

By leveraging Olsights’ advanced data visualisation technologies, stakeholders can better monitor the development of CCUS clusters, track emissions reductions in real-time, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. Furthermore, the Olsights Eye app offers comprehensive insights into the energy infrastructure, helping businesses and policymakers make informed decisions that align with the UK’s decarbonisation targets.

As the government seeks to secure additional private investment for these projects, Olsights’ proven track record in CCUS can enhance investor confidence. By bridging the gap between industrial applications and environmental policy, Olsights is well-positioned to support the UK’s transition to a net-zero future while driving economic growth in regions most impacted by deindustrialisation.
