There is no single answer when it comes to reducing industrial CO₂ emissions, so we must progress a range of solutions which will include carbon capture, utilisation and storage, using hydrogen in place of natural gas and direct air capture which removes CO₂ from the environment.

The UK is determined to achieve its net zero ambition by 2050 but if it is to make its decarbonisation agenda a reality by then it must look to Scotland because of the country’s ready-made gas transportation infrastructure and proximity to excellent sub-surface carbon storage sites in the Central North Sea.
