GMB, the energy union, has responded to today's announcement on investment in carbon capture technology.
Gary Smith, GMB General Secretary, said:
"This is a serious step in the right direction and a welcome investment in jobs and industries after years of neglect under the previous administration.
"GMB has long called for this technology to be supported: it's great to see these calls being answered.
"Today's announcement shows what levelling up can really mean: good, well paid jobs reinvigorating communities.
"If this positive news is followed by a quick decision to support Sizewell C, it shows that we finally have a Government with a serious industrial strategy that will rebuild our nation's infrastructure after fourteen wasted years."
