Scotland's First Minister John Swinney says he is 'deeply concerned' following a UK government decision affecting the Acorn carbon capture project at St Fergus in Aberdeenshire. The long-promised scheme has previously missed out on funding rounds, and frustration is growing in Scotland over repeated delays to a project seen as central to the North East's energy transition.

Why now: The UK government's latest decision on the flagship Scottish carbon capture project has reignited anger over years of delays and broken promises on funding.
