To ask the Scottish Government by what date the Acorn carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) project in St Cyrus will receive the full £80 million in funding that it earmarked towards it in January 2022.
The Scottish Government remains wholly committed to supporting the development and deployment of CCUS, including the Acorn Project and the Scottish Cluster, including with up to £80 million in support. When we, the project and the Scottish Cluster, are provided with more details by the UK Government on the next stage of the process, timelines and funding, it will then be possible to assess when and how best to support the project with Scottish Government funding.
