The North Sea Knitters, a Scotland-wide group, has campaigned for four years against SSE's proposed gas power station in Peterhead. Their efforts have delayed at least two million tonnes of CO2 emissions.

Activists argue the project, linked to the Acorn carbon capture initiative, is unfeasible and detrimental to the transition to renewable energy. SSE's plans have faced various protests, including at AGMs, highlighting concerns over fuel poverty and reliance on fossil fuels. The current gas station in Peterhead is one of Scotland's largest polluters.
