The recent publication of nine low-carbon and renewable options for Grangemouth marks an important step towards transforming the region into a green manufacturing hub.
With a £7.5 billion investment needed to transform the site, CCUS will be key to successfully delivering these projects – including the production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and the development of green hydrogen facilities to support the UK’s net zero ambitions.
To ensure the success of these initiatives, the rapid deployment of CCUS technologies is vital. CCUS will play a crucial role in decarbonising industrial heartlands like Grangemouth, facilitating the transition of highly skilled jobs into the low-carbon economy. By leveraging the UK’s expertise from the North Sea oil and gas sector, we can solidify our position as a global leader in climate action.
