A number of key SNP members have been vocal in their criticism of George Osborne's decision to axe the £1billion CCS fund, for which Peterhead was a front runner

一些关键的SNP成员一直在批评乔治·奥斯本，因为他决定削减10亿英镑的CCS基金，其中Peterhead 是一个典型

Carbon capture and storage is back on track for a full-scale scheme to open in the 2030s, according to the UK Government.

据英国政府称，碳捕集与封存已经回到正轨，可以在2030年开放全面计划。

The north-east was dealt a major blow when £1 billion plans for a carbon capture & storage (CCS) plant at Peterhead were dumped by then-Chancellor George Osborne in 2015.

2015年，当时总理乔治·奥斯本（George Osborne）削减了10亿英镑的Peterhead碳捕集与封存（CCS）工厂的计划，这对东北地区造成了重大打击。

Now, plans for another north-east CCS scheme, the Acorn Project at St Fergus, are looking like they could flourish.

现在，另一个东北CCS计划的项目，即圣弗格斯St Fergus的Acorn项目，看起来可能会蓬勃发展。

The announcement of a major industry report being launched next month was made at the Carbon Capture & Storage Association (CCSA) President’s reception at Westminster yesterday (WED).

碳捕集与封存协会（CCSA）部长级招待会昨日在威斯敏斯特举行，并宣布了下个月将要发布的一份重要的行业报告。

Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) CCS director Ashley Ibbett announced the CCS cross-challenge taskforce report will be published next month.

商业，能源和工业战略部（BEIS）CCS主任Ashley Ibbett宣布，CCS交叉挑战工作组报告将于下个月发布。

The report is all about the stepping stones to achieving cost-effective CCS and is based on evidence from CCS experts, including those at the Acorn project.

该报告是关于实现具有成本效益的CCS的垫脚石，并且基于CCS专家的证据，包括Acorn项目的专家。

Mr Ibbett also confirmed Scottish companies were involved in plans to launch full-scale CCS projects in the 2030s.

Ibbett先生还证实，苏格兰公司参与了在2030年代推出全面CCS项目的计划。

"We need CCS deployed cost-effectively and on a large scale," he said. "Scotland recognises this value and Scottish companies are testing how CCS can support existing industry.

“我们需要以经济高效的方式部署CCS，”他说。 “苏格兰认识到这一价值，苏格兰公司正在测试CCS如何支持现有的行业。

"Next year the CCS cross challenge taskforce will be published and, by the end of the year, we plan to respond to the taskforce and set out steps to realise our ambition to develop CCS at scale during the 2030s."

“明年CCS交叉挑战工作组将会公布，到年底，我们计划回应工作组，并制定步骤，实现我们在2030年代大规模发展CCS的雄心。”

The Acorn project, run by Pale Blue Dot Energy, now hopes to get 1/4 billion government funding to launch a medium-sized CCS project at St Fergus in 2023, which could be scaled up to hit the government's planned timescale.

由Pale Blue Dot Energy运营的Acorn项目现在希望获得1/4亿政府资金，以便在2023年在St Fergus启动一个中型CCS项目，该项目可以扩大到达到政府计划的时间表。

Pale Blue Dot finance director Stephen Murray said he was "cautiously optimistic" about government support for the company's current feasibility study growing in future.

Pale Blue Dot财务总监Stephen Murray 表示，他对政府对公司目前未来可行性研究的支持持“谨慎乐观态度”。

He said: "In order to be operating at scale by 2030, they need to have done a number of things in the 2020s, such as Acorn.

他说：“为了在2030年之前大规模运营，他们需要在20世纪20年代做过很多事情，比如Acorn。

"Our model is very low regret because we have very low expansion costs. We need 1/4 billion, which is a fraction of the Peterhead cost, and if the government decided it didn't like it, the cost of shutting it down would be very modest.

“我们的模型非常遗憾，因为我们的扩张成本非常低。我们需要1/4亿美元，这是Peterhead成本的一小部分，如果政府决定不喜欢它，关闭它的成本将是 非常谦虚。

"What we're missing at the moment is simply a revenue model, such as the feed-in tariffs we had for wind and solar. That piece is missing.

“我们目前所缺少的仅仅是一种收入模式，例如我们对风能和太阳能的上网电价。这件事情缺失了。

"However, the minister is hugely supportive so the sector is feeling a little bit more buoyant and we are cautiously optimistic."

“然而，部长非常支持，因此该行业感觉更加活跃，我们对此持谨慎态度。”
