Storegga rebrands ahead of its chief ’s COP27 appearance

- RYAN DUFF

Storegga has unveiled new branding ahead of its chief executive’s appearance at the COP27 conference in Egypt this week.

The firm claims its new “visual identity” marks a milestone in the company’s growth as it evolves from being a developer of a single carbon storage and hydrogen project in Scotland to “an internatio­nal developer of multiple decarbonis­ation technologi­es”.

Storegga’s chief executive Dr Nick Cooper will be in attendance for COP27 as part of the Sustainabl­e Markets Initiative­s programme in Egypt.

Storegga will be chairing a panel of industry and thinktank experts on the opportunit­y of direct air capture technology.

Dr Cooper said: “We establishe­d Storegga in 2020 to support the developmen­t of the Acorn carbon storage and hydrogen project in Aberdeen. Since then, we have grown the project into the wider ‘Scottish cluster’ of decarbonis­ation technologi­es, including plans for Europe’s first atscale direct air capture plant. We have also launched Scotland’s largest green hydrogen project in Cromarty, in partnershi­p with Scottish Power and a group of distillery customers including Diageo, Glenmorang­ie and Whyte and Mackay.

“In just two years, our pioneering work in Scotland has caught internatio­nal attention as countries seek to emulate the industrial decarbonis­ation efforts of the UK. We are now working on a carbon storage project with Talos in the US and are in partnershi­p with Sval Energi in Norway. We are also exploring multiple further decarbonis­ation projects internatio­nally.

“With the evolution of our business, we needed a bolder brand which more accurately conveys our commitment to the important mission of the decarbonis­ing industry.”

Dr Cooper went on to say: “Latest ‘tipping points’ research from leading climate scientists released ahead of COP27 shows the peril our climate faces and the urgency to act.

“I am really proud that our new visual identity represents the dichotomy of industry and nature.

“Storegga’s raison d’être is to provide industrial answers to industrial problems, like reducing and removing harmful CO2 at scale and supporting the transition to clean fuels like green hydrogen.

“I am really proud that the new positionin­g of the company was led by a group of our employees and reflects our collective drive to be part of solving one of the world’s most pressing issues.

“We are enormously grateful to the team at Saboteur for helping us define our mission and create such a striking visual representa­tion.

“A vital component of solving the climate crisis is education and communicat­ions.

“Our fresh vision and design will support this important work.”
