Acorn CCS is a CO2 transportation and storage (T&S) system which reuses legacy oil and gas infrastructure to transport captured industrial CO2 emissions from the Scottish Cluster, to permanent storage 2.5km (1.5miles) under the North Sea.
The Scottish Cluster is a collection of industrial, power and hydrogen businesses in the Central Belt and North-East Scotland which rely on Acorn CCS to decarbonise their operations.
Acorn CCS could also provide a solution for industrial emitters who do not have immediate access to storage. There is potential to use non-pipeline transportation, like shipping, to move captured CO2 from across the UK and internationally to the Acorn CCS geological storage sites.
