Energy boss hopes Sullom Voe Terminal’s best days are yet to come
Sullom Voe Terminal.
The energy chief tasked with transforming Sullom Voe Terminal insists its best days are yet to come.
Veri Energy chief executive Gavin Templeton said the Just Transition could usher in a new era of opportunity for the North Mainland facility.
While the heyday of oil and gas has long since gone, Mr Templeton said he was looking to the future with wind power, hydrogen production and carbon storage.
And he is full of enthusiasm for what they may bring.
“You’ve got to think big,” he told The Shetland Times.
“You’ve got to be ambitious about what you want to do.”

Veri Energy chief executive Gavin Templeton, advocates making Shetland a toxic waste dumping ground!!! What he means by carbon capture, “Carbon dioxide gas is poisonous above 10%. It will kill all warm blooded creatures within a minute or so. That is more lethal than any radioactive waste!!!! This clown intends to store hundreds of thousands of tons of this gas, highly pressurised, off the coast of Shetland. That would be enough to kill all of Shetland, hundreds of times over, all it would take would be a wellhead blowout and the wind to carry the gas cloud to Shetland. We would all be dead. Oh happy days!!!!

If these proposals come to fruition it will be time to emigrate Shetland will be finished this will be the end of the fishing industry and wildlife around Shetland we will just be one giant industrial estate.
