ADNOC said the investment aligns with its strategic focus on forming carbon management partnerships and adopting technologies that bolster global CCS projects, thereby accelerating decarbonisation.

Storegga CEO Nick Cooper said: “Over the past three years we have transformed from a single-project developer in Scotland to an international force driving global decarbonisation efforts. We are excited to now see ADNOC join our shareholder group.”
