Shell and Scottish Southern Energy (SSE) are partners in the project to retrofit the Peterhead gas power plant with CO2capture and transport the gas to Shell’s Goldeneye gas field in the North Sea.
An announcement of whether the Peterhead project will receive co-funding from the UK government has been expected to be made in early 2014. It is as of yet amongst the preferred candidates for a share of 1.21 billion euro.

For a complete list of the meeting dates and venues see the BBC article on the topic.
