Simon's spot on here but, for civilians, I'm going to translate the acronyms he uses:
The Climate Change Commission (CCC), who this week published their 7th carbon budget, include carbon capture & storage (CCS). But would they be able to do so if they didn't ignore upstream emissions? Probably not.

2️⃣ Generation in 2050 from 'low carbon dispatchable power' (i.e. from gas+CCS) will be a whopping 56%☝️ the size of today's unabated gas power sector.
And it's really clear that this tech is roughly as bad as coal for the climate. CCC recommends it only by totally ignoring vast upstream emissions.
