A £78m carbon capture plant is set to be built in County Durham after gaining planning approval.
London-based Landmark Power Holdings is driving the scheme for the new zero carbon energy generation facility at Mill Hill in Peterlee, which will create around 10 new jobs once complete as well. The facility is designed to capture and reuse carbon dioxide from a nearby energy generation plant, and it is hoped it will be operational in 2024.
Landmark Power Holdings specialises in carbon neutral energy that contribute to a circular economy in energy production. The plant will take carbon and convert it to food grade carbon dioxide, as well as into a solid state carbon, both of which are commercial products with multiple industrial uses.
