Fossil fuel giants SSE and Equinor are set to expand their gas-fired energy production in the North East of Scotland as they attempt to green-wash gas power with so-called “Carbon Capture and Storage” technology at Peterhead power station.
These are destructive, climate-busting plans which use an unproven technology to justify the expansion of fossil fuels despite the climate crisis.
The Scottish Government currently backs these plans for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), despite CCS never having produced the predicted capture rates, and several CCS projects having collapsed because the technology just cannot deliver on promises.
We need your help to stop the expansion of gas-fired energy generation at Peterhead!
In the face of the climate crisis, we must ensure that community members and workers are at the centre of genuine just transition plans, and are not fobbed off with false or fake “just transition” approaches that just perpetuate business as usual.
