Scotland has CCS capacity to process a century of CO2 output

Rocks deep beneath the Moray Firth are capable of storing decades of CO2 output from Scotland’s power stations. Scotland's potentially massive offshore CO2 storage capacity is of European significance. The European Union has specified that three of the eight CCS demonstrator plants that it will fund under its multi-billion euro demonstrator programme must inject into saline aquifers. The results from this study place Scotland in a strong position to secure future EU support for more detailed assessment of CO2 storage in saline aquifers. ClickGreen
