UK Carbon Cluster Review 5. The Scottish Cluster. Last but not least in our series is the Scottish Cluster, which is home to over 80% of the UK’s oil and gas sector by production. It also boasts the UK’s largest CO2 storage potential (and one of the largest in Europe), potentially enabling the wider CCS industry both domestically and internationally. The first phase of Scottish Cluster development, between now and 2030 should involve at least nine UK CO2 sources spanning a variety of high emitting sectors including industrial sites and power generation plants, along with the generation of hydrogen and the deployment of Direct Air Capture (“DAC”) technology. Eight of these CO2 sources should be operational by 2027 and they include two of the gas terminals at the St Fergus Gas Complex, SSE and Equinor’s Peterhead Carbon Capture Power Station, around 1 million tonnes of CO2 per year from the INEOS and Petroineos sites at Grangemouth and the first large-scale DAC facility of its kind in Europe, targeted for North East Scotland. Another major partnership is the Acorn project, a joint venture with four partner companies (Storegga, Shell UK, Harbour Energy and North Sea Midstream Partners) developing CCS & Hydrogen projects in Scotland. This is a similar offshore infrastructure collaboration to the East Coast Cluster’s NEP.
