Wedoany.com News, recently, a Scottish company called "The Carbon Removers," which focuses on capturing biogenic carbon dioxide from industries such as whisky production, has secured £1 million in public funding to support the expansion of its modular carbon capture technology across the UK and Europe.

The investment comes from South of Scotland Enterprise (SOSE). The company's developed modular system, Nimmons900, can be deployed at decentralized emission sources such as whisky distilleries and farms. The captured carbon dioxide is liquefied and transported. The company has already signed contracts with a Danish storage operator and plans to store up to 300,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide underground starting this year. The carbon dioxide captured in the UK is currently primarily used in building material production, with plans to achieve permanent geological storage in the North Sea by 2033. The company's long-term goal is to capture 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually by 2030. Martin Valenti, Director of Investment and Sustainable Enterprise at SOSE, stated that such companies are crucial for driving the transformation of southern Scotland into a natural capital innovation zone. Scotland is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2045.
