The objective of the CCS UK Storage Appraisal Project (UKSAP) has been to provide a fully auditable and defensible overall estimate of UK CO<sub>2</sub> storage capacity in offshore geological formations, to inform future roll out of CCS in the UK.<br /><br />The key project findings are that the UK has more than sufficient storage capacity to meet its ambitions for CCS over the next 100 years. This will require use of both depleted oil and gas reservoirs and saline aquifers. To meet the rapid roll out expected in the 2020s, appraisal of aquifers needs to start in the near future.<!-- CO2 -->
