Scottish Cluster: Ready to Deliver
The Acorn CO₂ transportation and storage (T&S) system and National Gas SCO₂T Connect pipeline will enable timely and efficient decarbonisation of Scotland, the UK and beyond.
Working together, Acorn and National Gas will provide a CO₂ transport and permanent storage solution to a range of diverse emitters in Scotland and the rest of the UK, who are all committed to timely and cost-effective decarbonisation.
The Scottish Cluster, with Acorn at its core, can collectively make a major contribution to UK net zero commitments, directly supporting ambitions for clean energy, green prosperity and value for money.
The Scottish Cluster offers:
Rapid decarbonisation: a route to connect Scotland’s major emitters and hard to abate sources. 90% of Scotland’s largest emitters are within 50km of Acorn or SCO₂T Connect infrastructure.
Scalability: the option to deliver the Acorn transport and storage system through a modular approach, expanding in phases from the north east outwards, building a UK hub for CO₂ storage.
Commitment to deliver: Scottish Cluster partners are credible and qualified organisations who have invested significantly to be ready to deliver these major projects.
