Scotland's Net Zero Infrastructure (Onshore)

该项目被称为苏格兰的净零基础设施（SNZI）项目，将重点关注位于苏格兰东北部圣弗格斯的Acorn CCS和低碳氢项目的陆上元素，以及苏格兰工业集群。该项目将资助重要的工程研究，这些研究将开发集群内关键组件的可执行范围，增加投资者的信心，并提供基础设施，使英国的净零工业集群成为现实。它为到2030年实现每年超过1000万吨的二氧化碳储存铺平了道路，到2035年增加到每年2000万吨，并释放了超过200亿吨的二氧化碳储存能力。这种世界级的储存能力为英国的大部分排放提供了一条安全储存在北海海上特征良好的储存地点的途径。该提案旨在发展苏格兰产业集群的主要陆上脱碳组成部分，在苏格兰中部地带捕获二氧化碳，开发管道基础设施，将二氧化碳从中部地带北部运输到圣弗格斯和海上进行长期储存。该提案的其他方面寻求：*开发英国第一个低碳蓝氢制造设施，开始天然气供应系统脱碳的过程*在彼得黑德港开发可行的二氧化碳运输基础设施，使提赛德、亨伯赛德、南威尔士和欧洲的项目能够安全、经济地将二氧化碳运送到Acorn仓库。在圣弗格斯天然气终端，CCS和低碳氢生产的初步开发将储存大约100万立方米的天然气。从2024年底开始每年减排75万吨二氧化碳，到2030年增加到每年1000万吨，到2035年增加到每年2000万吨。这相当于英国目前总排放量的5%。该项目为苏格兰产业集群的脱碳提供了一条清晰而切实的道路，包括推进SSE在Peterhead发电站的低碳火力发电，以及为支持英国和国外的其他产业集群开辟机会。Acorn基础设施能够支持多个集群和地点，并可以访问世界级的海上存储地点，这对英国实现净零排放目标至关重要。此外，由于该集群发展成为主要的二氧化碳储存中心，英国公司将获得显着的经济效益

This project, known as Scotland's Net Zero Infrastructure (SNZI) project, will focus on onshore elements of the Acorn CCS and low carbon hydrogen project at St Fergus in north east Scotland, and the Scottish Industrial Cluster. The project will fund important engineering studies which will develop the executable scopes of key components within the cluster, increasing investor confidence and providing the infrastructure to make a net zero industrial cluster in the UK a reality.It paves the way for over 10 million tonnes per annum of CO2 storage by 2030, growing to 20 million tonnes per annum by 2035, and unlocking access to over 20 gigatons of CO2 storage capacity. This world-class storage capacity provides a route for much of the UK's emissions to be safely stored in well-characterised storage sites offshore in the North Sea.This proposal seeks to develop the major onshore decarbonisation components of the Scottish industrial cluster, capturing CO2 in the Central Belt of Scotland, developing a pipeline infrastructure to transport the CO2 from the Central Belt north to St Fergus and offshore for long term storage.Other aspects of the proposal seek to:* Develop Britain's first low carbon blue hydrogen manufacturing facility, beginning the process of decarbonising the natural gas supply system* Develop a viable CO2 shipping infrastructure at Peterhead Port, enabling projects on Teesside, Humberside, in South Wales and in Europe to safely and economically send their CO2 to the Acorn store.The initial development of CCS and low carbon hydrogen production at the St Fergus gas terminal will store approx. 750,000 tonnes per annum of CO2 from late 2024, rising to 10 million tonnes per annum before 2030, and 20 million tonnes per annum by 2035. This represents 5% of all current UK emissions.The project provides a clear and tangible path to decarbonisation of the Scottish industrial cluster, including advancing SSE's low carbon thermal power generation at Peterhead Power Station as well as opening up opportunities to support other industrial clusters in the UK and abroad. The ability to support multiple clusters and locations with access to the world class offshore storage locations accessible from the Acorn infrastructure is of vital importance to the UK's net zero ambitions. In addition, there will be significant economic benefits to UK Plc as a result of this cluster progressing to be a major CO2 storage hub
