Shell’s head of the Peterhead carbon capture and storage project in Scotland found the report confirmed what he and Shell have been arguing for the past decade — that the fossil fuel industry has to take steps to decarbonise, and the most promising technology will be CCS, although it has yet to be proven at a commercial scale.
Should it go ahead, the Peterhead project, which will bury 1 million tonnes per annum of carbon dioxide in Shell’s Goldeneye gas field in the North Sea, will be the first in the world to demonstrate CCS on a gas power plant, which the IPCC endorsed as an important fuel in the transition from coal power plants to clean energy technologies.
