The Acorn Project provides critically important carbon capture and storage and hydrogen infrastructure, helping industries and homes across the country to decarbonise. It can be operating by the mid-2020’s, establishing the infrastructure essential for meeting UK net zero targets.
Acorn is strategically located in north east Scotland to make best use of existing gas pipelines with ready access to world class CO2 storage, which will allow the project to be quickly established as an essential CCS and Hydrogen hub. Acorn can be rapidly scaled up to support the deployment of a CO2 management industry, including a host of low carbon technologies around.
