The project, to be named the Caledonia Clean Energy Project, includes full-chain, commercial-scale carbon capture and storage.
The project will be submitted to the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change for funding under the UK’s Carbon Capture & Storage Delivery Competition, as recently outlined in the European Journal.
The coal feedstock plant, which will be based at the Port of Grangemouth, Scotland, will generate low-carbon electric power and also produce hydrogen gas for commercial use.
The carbon dioxide captured will be transported via pipeline to St Fergus by National Grid Carbon and then transferred offshore for geological sequestration deep under the North Sea by Petrofac subsidiary, CO2DeepStore.
