A gas-fired power plant in Scotland may be able to generate ultra-low carbon power at a cheaper cost than nuclear, according to its developers. The engineers behind the Caledonia Clean Energy Project (CCEP) claim a scheme to strip the carbon emissions from the flue of a gas-fired power plant could be developed through a Government contract worth between £80 and £90 a megawatt hour. The project would be a lower cost to the consumer than high-profile new nuclear reactors at Hinkley Point C in Somerset, and produce just a tenth of the carbon emissions of a traditional gas-fired power plant.
