Funding for a carbon capture project in Aberdeenshire is expected to be announced in the UK government's spending review.
The Acorn Project based in St Fergus would take greenhouse gas emissions and store them under the North Sea, in a process known as carbon capture and storage (CCS).
There have been growing calls from business leaders - led by Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce - for investment in the project which has been on a reserve list for funding.
BBC Scotland reports that Chancellor Rachel Reeves will announce funding for Acorns as she sets the budgets for all government departments over the next few years today, which will include information on what new projects will receive investment.
In the House of Commons on Tuesday, ministers were asked a number of times about funding for the project.
Energy Minister Sarah Jones told MPs they didn't have long to wait to see what the spending review had to say about the project.
She said: "We have always been clear that we support the Acorn Project" adding "we know what an important proposal it is.
"The decision is a matter for a spending review but we are very close to having those decisions".
What will be in the spending review?
The NHS and defence are expected to get the biggest boost when Reeves lays out how taxpayers' money will be spent at 12.30pm this afternoon.
Edinburgh University is to get £750million allocated to a new super-computer, which is billed as the most powerful in the UK, and among the most powerful in the world.
It will be available for research into numerous projects such as personalised medicine, sustainable air travel or climate change.
Elsewhere, Reeves has already said three quarters of pensioners will receive winter fuel payments, after a government U-turn.
The Chancellor is also expected to announce £39bn to help build social and affordable housing over the next 10 years.
