The UK government announced an investment of £20 billion for the development of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) projects in Scotland and the Humber. It is expected to capture approximately over 10 million tons of CO2 annually.
In order to reach net zero, the UK government is aiming to ensure 20 million to 30 million tons of CO2 is captured each year by 2030.
These two CCUS projects is developed by a joint venture between carbon reduction company Storegga, Shell UK, Harbour Energy and North Sea Midstream Partners.
The Acorn Carbon Capture Scheme, which based at St Fergus in Scotland, is a CCS project that reuses legacy oil and gas infrastructure to transport captured industrial emissions from the Scottish Cluster to permanent storage 1.5 miles under the North Sea.
