12 May 2021 6:15 GMT Updated 12 May 2021 8:50 GMT in Perth Norwegian oil giant Equinor is teaming up with UK-headquartered energy company SSE for a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project attached to a gas-fired power station at Peterhead, in Scotland. SSE Thermal confirmed this week it was partnering with Equinor to jointly develop what could be one of the UK’s first power stations equipped with carbon capture technology. The new 900-megawatt gas-fired power station at Peterhead will include a CCS project designed to capture up to 1.5 million tonnes per annum of carbon dioxide — the equivalent of taking around 60 million cars off the road every year, according to SSE.
