A 2018 UK SAM for CCS deployment with and without shipping

This is a 2018 Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) of the UK for use in projects aiming to explore the introduction of a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), transport and storage specifically, sector in the UK economy. We include two variations: one where the transportation is done exclusively over pipelines and another where a mix of pipelines and shipping is used. In the version where only pipelines are used, the CCS sector is assumed to be identical, in terms of its supply chain and production technology, to the existing UK Oil and Gas sector. In fact, it has been created by disaggregating the Oil and Gas sector. Where a mix of pipelines and shipping is used, the inputs of the CCS sector are adjusted appropriately to reflect the fact that less capital is necessary to be owned and operated by the sector and at the same time more imports of shipping services are necessary. This SAM incorporates the latest input-output tables published by the Office for National Statistics.
