Carbon Capture Scotland is pressing ahead with a £120m carbon removal and storage project following a seven-figure investment by Steyn Group.
Its 'Project Nexus' is focusing on the Scotch whisky and agriculture sectors, aiming to remove carbon dioxide that has been naturally captured in organic materials such as grain and barley.
The Dumfries-based business has developed a method of capturing CO2 produced from organic processes such as whisky fermentation.
