Carbon capture -Scottish Vision
A plan to position Scotland as the world leader in carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been published.
The carbon capture and storage roadmap, produced by the Scottish Government and Scottish Enterprise, is a comprehensive set of actions to put Scotland at the forefront of CCS development. These include:
* Setting out a vision for CCS in Scotland including aiming to develop a number of demonstration projects
* Maximising EU and UK support for Scotland's ambitions
* Developing of an offshore carbon licensing regime
* Identification of the skills and training needs to match industry demand
"We now want to see a number of CCS demonstration projects developed in Scotland," said Scottish Energy Minister Jim Mather. "Today's plan takes us further down that road by setting out our ambitions and the actions needed if our vision of CCS playing a part in our future energy supply is to be realised."
"The Scottish Government will work with our partners in industry, academia and in the UK Government and Europe to ensure that Scotland can deliver on the opportunities that CCS provides. more

It confirms the Scottish Government position that any new coal-fired station would need to demonstrate carbon capture and storage on at least 300 Megawatts of its capacity from day one and retro-fitting for those stations.
