While Cluff says it is "confident that the evidence in relation to UCG will result in the moratorium being lifted", it has stopped all expenditure related to the Kincardine Project and is now focussing its attention outside of Scotland, in particular the North East of England, where the company "believes the political situation is more favourable with regards to UCG and considerable support exists for investment in energy and industry with a view to regeneration."
Cluff says it has a total of nine UCG licences in the UK of which six are based in England and Wales and are therefore not subject to the moratorium.
