Anglo-Dutch giant Shell and Harbour Energy have clinched an agreement to become partners in the Acorn carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Scotland, UK.
The two companies have joined project proponent Storegga via the latter s wholly owned subsidiary Pale Blue Dot Energy to become equal partners in a scheme that will capture carbon dioxide from industrial facilities in the St Fergus area and elsewhere and pipe it to storage reservoirs in the North Sea, for which a licence is already held.
The development, located on Scotland s east coast, also aims to produce blue hydrogen.
The Park City Police Department on Friday morning sent officers to Park City High School, where several adults wanted to distribute literature in opposition to coronavirus vaccinations, the police said.
The police said the agency received a complaint at approximately 11:30 a.m. The Police Department said the group could continue the activity on the sidewalk outside the high school but not on school property. There were five or six adults.
Phil Kirk, a police captain, said one of the adults initially declined to comply with the request to leave school property. The police issued a citation on a count of trespassing to that person, he said. Information about the person was not immediately available.
