We are increasing the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) grant for properties heated by oil and LPG, taking the total grant to £9,000. This will help SMEs in England and Wales most impacted by rising energy prices to electrify their heating and provide greater certainty over energy bills.

Our £21.7 billion investment in CCUS will help launch an era of clean energy in Britain – boosting energy security, backing industries, and supporting thousands of highly skilled jobs across the country.

Decisions for continued CCUS deployment will be taken in due course.
