This would reduce CO₂ from fossil-fuel generation while the UK expands renewable and nuclear energy, helping cut emissions and protect the environment.","additional_details":"Power stations that burn fossil fuels release carbon dioxide (CO₂), a major greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. Carbon capture technology can remove CO₂ from power-plant exhaust before it enters the atmosphere. This petition calls on the UK Government to require carbon capture on at least 50% of eligible power-plant emissions, while continuing to expand renewable and nuclear energy.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2026-09-14T18:36:56.910Z","updated_at":"2026-10-14T15:25:23.800Z","rejected_at":"2026-10-14T15:25:14.632Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-09-15T06:34:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"already-happening","details":"New and substantially refurbished combustion power plants in England applying for permits must demonstrate decarbonisation readiness with a 90% minimum capture rate.\r\n\r\nYou can read more about this here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/decarbonisation-readiness-in-environmental-permit-applications/decarbonisation-readiness-in-environmental-permit-applications"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
