The Scottish Regional Study
	This is the most comprehensive and fully integrated study of CCS performed in the UK, and was achieved by a collaborative partnership of Scottish Government, research universities and institutes, and a broad base of support from industry and business. 'The Path to a Deployable CCS Technology' (PDF, 121KB) Produced by the Steering Group of the Scottish Capture, Transport and Storage Study Regional Study:

Consortium Membership
Each industrial Partner subscribes enough to fund a single project and the research outcomes from each project are shared with the consortium.

Projects (Download pdf Overview)
Existing projects are focused on storage and monitoring of CO2. New projects are being developed on CO2 Regulation, CCS deployment, and CO2 capture, and Learning rates of CCS power plants.

ECOSSE
SCCS is part of the Edinburgh Collaborative of Subsurface Science and Engineering, which combines research groups based at The University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt University, the British Geological Survey, and the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre (SUERC).

Masters Programmes
Providing high-level interdisciplinary skills and training - CCS, Exploration GeoPhysics, Subsurface Exploration, and Carbon Management.

A Centre of Excellence

This innovative collaboration between the University of Edinburgh and Heriot Watt University with the British Geological Survey makes Edinburgh a centre of excellence for research and development in carbon capture and storage. The Scottish Centre for Carbon Storage - SCCS - builds on and extends the established world-class expertise in petroleum and hydrocarbon geoscience based on geology, geophysics, geo-engineering and subsurface fluid flow. The Centre comprises experimental and analytical facilities, expertise in field studies and modelling, and key academic and research personnel to stimulate the development of innovative solutions to carbon capture and subsuface storage and sequestration.
