Caledonia Clean Energy Project

The Caledonia Clean Energy Project is a proposed "commercial-scale" coal-fired plant of unspecified size which has been touted by the Summit Power Group in a bid for funding as a demonstration Carbon Capture and Storage project. The project has been proposed to be built at the Port of Grangemouth, west of Edinburgh on the Firth of Forth, Scotland.

Background
In March 2012 the Summit Power Group from the US announced that it had entered into an agreement with National Grid and Petrofac to seek funding from the UK government’s Carbon Capture & Storage Delivery Competition. The company announced few details of the project other than that it was proposing to build a "commercial-scale" coal-fired plant to produce electricity and hydrogen for commercial customers with the captured carbon dioxide "transported via pipeline to St. Fergus by National Grid Carbon and then transferred offshore for geological sequestration deep under the North Sea by Petrofac subsidiary, CO2DeepStore."
