“Scottish Power has won “tens of millions of pounds” in government funding to develop new technology to tackle climate change”, so reports the BBC.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) removes carbon produced by coal-fired power stations and then stores it underground. In the case of Longannet, the carbon will be stored under the North Sea in old gas reserves or non-porous rock. It is hoped to remove 50% of the carbon produced.
