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 HBoS Edinburgh Photos of Malcolm Fraser Architects' redevelopment: Edinburgh News Gorbals development Proposal for major Gorbals housing scheme + business park + hotel granted planning approval; incl. demolition of two 1960s tower blocks Scottish Agricultural Centre £10m Stirling agricultural centre approved, by Elphinstone Land Pier Arts Centre - Orkney photo © Adrian Welch New Stromness building by Reiach and Hall Architects 040207 Call to scrap Tornagrain Objections to Tornograin new town masterplanned by architect Andres Duany 010207 Hillhead School JM Architects win, beating Anderson Bell Christie, Building Design Partnership, HLM, gm+ad architects and DSDHA / Zone Architects: Glasgow Schools 310107 Vienna Apartments £15m Mitchell St building, start on site Feb - Vienna Apartments picture from the architect Glasgow Architects Jobs Wish to improve prospects?
