Simply shutting down industries and factories isn’t an option. We have to find a way to keep industry and people working without harming our environment. That’s why NECCUS has come together as an alliance to support the solutions needed to decarbonise industry.
In establishing NECCUS we also recognised that Scotland was the obvious choice in which to begin this journey to net zero. Scotland has committed to being net zero by 2045, five years ahead of the rest of the UK. Scotland is the only country to establish a Just Transition Commission – gov.scot (www.gov.scot) set out to ensure no one is left economically disadvantaged as we decarbonise our homes and industries. Scotland also has some unique advantages that allow progress rapidly and cost effectively.
NECCUS now has over 50 membership organisations in the alliance, representing the majority of current industrial emissions in Scotland, and the organisations who can help to abate these emissions.
