Accelerating growth in Grangemouth 

Grangemouth will benefit from £10 million new investment to create new jobs and boost skills development.

Further investment into Celtic Renewables will support the company’s expansion into large‑scale commercial production of sustainable biochemical solutions, creating 149 new jobs in the area by 2030.

The funding comprises £5 million in Scottish Enterprise equity funding – building on previous Scottish Government investment of over £6 million via the Grangemouth Just Transition Fund – which has in turn leveraged £5 million from the private sector into Celtic Renewables.

During Scottish Apprenticeship Week, the Scottish Government has also announced £90,000 for a new employment pathways programme in the region, run by Forth Valley College in collaboration with Falkirk Council.

The programme will help local Grangemouth residents develop practical and technical skills, gain accredited training and qualifications, connect with local industries, and receive personal development support to improve their chances of getting a job or progressing to further education.
