The report into options for Grangemouth has been hailed “a significant milestone” in the overall project to secure the future success of the site.
Scottish Enterprise has welcomed the publication of the Project Willow report on potential future opportunities for the Grangemouth site and launched its enquiry service to manage requests for information from investors and companies interested in investing in the site.
Jane Martin is SE’s managing director for Innovation and Investment and oversees SE’s dedicated team focused on the transition of Grangemouth.
She said: “This publication marks a significant milestone in ensuring Grangemouth continues with its hugely important role in Scotland’s economy.
“Grangemouth already has a great workforce, transport links and ongoing development.
“And the Project Willow report will bolster the canon of work already being done by Scottish Enterprise and partners across the Grangemouth Cluster to build an exciting future for the site.
“Project Willow has identified an opportunity to align Scotland’s industrial regeneration with government climate obligations, and to demonstrate a pathway to green energy while securing new jobs and growth.
“The nine recommended projects all have the potential to help advance the development of low carbon technologies in Scotland whilst ensuring Grangemouth remains THE location of choice for investors and innovators in the sector.
“We also want to hear from investors interested in other opportunities across the wider site.
“SE has a clear ambition to help create the best possible location, infrastructure and enabling environment for success, and to attract investors and industrial partners who share that ambition.”
Scottish Enterprise will now work on behalf of both UK and Scottish governments to identify and seek out potential investors, in partnership with the National Wealth Fund, Scottish National Investment Bank and the Office for Investment, to come forward with commercially viable proposals, including those set out in the Project Willow report.
