CO2 transport
Acorn and Uniper will jointly develop a solution to transport the captured CO2 from the Isle of Grain to Peterhead Port in Scotland and then to permanent storage beneath the North Sea
The infrastructure would provide many more industrial companies the opportunity to transport captured CO2 for storage in depleted gas fields
They will look into the technical and commercial feasibility of initially transporting up to 2.5m tonnes per annum of liquefied CO2 by 2030
Grants will be provided for 10 projects – two for electricity transmission, one for smart electricity grids, six for transport of CO2 and one for gas
