Director of WWF Scotland: "plans for CCS in the UK have descended into farce"

Longannet's £1 billion CCS bid halted

Richard Dixon, director of WWF Scotland said the news was "massively disappointing".

He said, "If technical and economic hurdles can be overcome CCS has the potential to help reduce emissions at thousands of coal power stations around the world. However, almost four years after launching its funding competition, plans for CCS in the UK have descended into farce..."

When were CCS plans *not* a farce?
