Carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS) is moving from pilot stage to real infrastructure, and UK construction will be central to building the pipeline networks, compression facilities, and storage wells. A new Marsh insight looks at the risks that come with that buildout, from project delivery to long term liability, and what they mean for contractors, developers, and insurers. The article is aimed at the construction industry, not just energy firms. It argues that CCUS projects introduce unfamiliar hazards, including geological uncertainty, CO2 handling, and shifting regulation. For companies bidding on this work, the question is not just whether the technology works, but who carries the risk if it does not. For anyone tracking UK climate policy or low-carbon infrastructure, this is a useful look at how CCUS will actually get built, and why risk transfer may determine whether projects reach final investment decision.
