Scottish Carbon Capture and Storage (SCCS)

SCCS said all processes to slash greenhouse gases are “needed immediately” and that it’s “unhelpful” to cherry-pick methods.

We have 12 years to clean up our carbon act on a global scale or face catastrophic climate change: that was the stark warning from the IPCC in October. The following month, the UK Government reaffirmed its support for carbon capture and storage (CCS) – a tested technology that will deliver massive reductions in carbon emissions – and the Acorn CCS Project in north east Scotland secured a licence to select a suitable North Sea CO2 storage site.
