Storegga

Does the core business genuinely avoid or reduce emissions, or build climate resilience? Share of revenue that is actually 'green'. Fossil-dependent models score low.

Storegga's core business — developing large-scale CO₂ capture, transport and geological storage infrastructure — is inherently mitigation-positive, with Acorn alone projected to store up to 5 million tonnes of CO₂/year initially, scalable to 20–40 Mt/yr, though no CO₂ has yet been permanently stored and the project remains pre-FID as of mid-2026.

Credible, science-based targets (SBTi), a real net-zero plan with progress to date, and CDP disclosure — not just a dated press release.

No SBTi-validated or committed targets were found in public databases; no CDP disclosure was identified; Storegga issues aspirational project-level capacity claims but no independently verified corporate-level GHG reduction targets or net-zero roadmap with milestones, which is a significant gap for an infrastructure developer operating in a sector where credibility depends on verifiable climate accounting.

Operational footprint, labour and social practices, and governance quality across the company's own operations and supply chain.

Storegga is a relatively small, pre-revenue infrastructure developer with no published sustainability report, no disclosed Scope 1/2/3 emissions inventory, and no identified labour, supply-chain or board diversity disclosures; governance quality is opaque given the absence of a public annual report or TCFD-aligned filing, though no active labour or social controversies were found.

Quality of disclosure, independent third-party verification, and how much hard data backs the company's claims.

Storegga's public disclosures are almost entirely press-release-level and project-advocacy-level communications; no independently audited GHG data, no third-party-verified impact metrics, no published annual report or sustainability report, and no CDP submission were identified, leaving investors reliant solely on company-authored promotional content.

Controversies, litigation, pollution, fossil-fuel lobbying, conflict-zone involvement and governance scandals. Higher means cleaner.

The most material integrity flag is Storegga's December 2025 decision to sell its 30% stake in Acorn via 'Project Oasis' only six months after publicly celebrating £200M in UK government development funding — a move that generated industry-wide concern about long-term capital commitment; no pollution, litigation, fossil lobbying or governance scandals were found, but the strategic retreat from the project's most critical capital phase is a significant credibility risk.
