Scottish Carbon Extraction Power Station - halted
£500m 'green' power station at Peterhead put on hold by BP / Scottish and Southern Energy. Proposal extracts carbon from gas landed at St Fergus, uses it to generate electricity and pipes the carbon back offshore to the Miller field. Uncertainty re part-funding by UK government may be the reason for the delay. The delay affects 100 design-work jobs related to the project in Aberdeen. The project would provide 'clean power' for estimated 500,000 homes so cancellation would be disastrous for Scotland
