Proceeding contribution from Frank Doran (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Annual Energy Statement.


Annual Energy Statement

I heard the Secretary of State's comments about the potential of the Peterhead CCS project, and I would welcome investment there. However, is it not true that the Longannet project was much more important to the country because it is a coal-powered station, as opposed to the gas-powered station at Peterhead, and coal is the main export market for CCS? Is it not also the case that Shell and Scottish Power have got their sums right, and that their assessment of the investment required for the CCS power we need is much more realistic than the Government's? We have thrown away the great potential of a large export market.
