A green future
Whilst we recognise coal's vital importance in supporting our nation's way of life today, we also recognise the importance of minimising its environmental impact wherever and however possible.
With this in mind we are actively pursuing and supporting routes to develop both renewable energy sources, such as wind and bio-energy solutions, as well as technologies that will actively minimise the environmental impact of coal (such as Carbon Capture and Storage). We continue to actively lobby for investment into clean coal and carbon capture technologies to ensure that Scotland and the UK can continue to benefit from the reliability of coal as an energy source.
Through this we will ensure coal remains a financially and environmentally viable energy option not just today but long into the future as well.
