Ineos has hit back at a Holyrood committee’s claims it refused to provide formal evidence into the net zero transition for Grangemouth.
The petrochemical giant's Scottish base is home to oil, chemical and power plants, and emits around three million tonnes of CO2 per year. However, the firm has set a target to achieve net zero emissions by 2045, including plans to develop a “world-scale, low-carbon” hydrogen manufacturing plant at the site.
The Economy and Fair Work Committee wrote to Ineos bosses to express disappointment at what it said was the organisation’s refusal to attend a formal evidence session as part of its inquiry.
