Thr SNP has hit out at the UK government after a Scottish carbon capture project was "snubbed" - and says Westminster needs to “put its money where its mouth is” if it wants to help develop the pioneering technology.
The party's Westminster leader Stephen Flynn MP has called for immediate funding for the Acorn project in Aberdeenshire - and has written to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to criticise delays in supporting the scheme.
Acorn involves proposals for carbon capture and storage and hydrogen infrastructure schemes at the St Fergus gas terminal north of Peterhead. It's a project seen as crucial to decarbonising Scottish industry.
