HyNet North West has been awarded funding totalling £72 million to create the world’s first low carbon industrial cluster through its development of a hydrogen and carbon capture and storage (CCS) project.
As a consortium partner, the announcement gives Hanson the green light to carry out a CCS feasibility study at its Padeswood cement works near Mold, Flintshire. This will provide a clear design basis and cost estimate for a carbon capture plant and connection to the planned HyNet North West CO
2 transport and storage system.
The UK Government recognises the decarbonising of industrial clusters as an essential part of the journey to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, as described in its 10 Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution.
