Carbon capture video game from Scottish Scottish video games designers at Abertay University

The next generation of Scottish video games designers are playing their part in the race to net zero thanks to a partnership between SSE Thermal and Abertay University.


Ahead of the COP26 climate change conference in Glasgow later this year, the two organisations have challenged a group of students to create an educational video game which focuses on carbon capture and storage (CCS) – a vital tool in decarbonisation efforts.

A Game Jam was held in July at the Dundee-based university, with various teams submitting ideas for an interactive game inspired by CCS. A judging panel, including figures from leading Scottish game design studios Junkfish and Biome Collective, selected the winning entry.
