Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on what engagement it has had with the operators at Mossmorran on future plans to reduce emissions.
Answer
As a responsible government, we meet periodically with large industrial operators, such as those at Mossmorran, to discuss operational as well as forward looking matters focused on sustainability and decarbonisation.
To date we have had conversations with both Exxon Mobil and Shell about their participation in the Acorn Project and as part of the wider Scottish cluster, which they see as a key project to unlocking significant carbon reductions across the site.
Later this month I will be visiting the Mossmorran site to hear more about these decarbonisation plans.
