Scottish Carbon Extraction Power Station - halted
£500m 'green' power station at Peterhead put on hold by BP / Scottish & 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 delay, which affects around 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
