Big businesses on the Humber have told how they need bold decisions to enable them to get on with key decarbonisation projects, to propel the UK to Net Zero.
Key figures from leading players have met with Shadow Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, hosted by the Hull & Humber Chamber of Commerce. Representatives from Ineos Acetyles, Equinor, Drax, Orsted, Able UK, Prax Group, Phillips 66, Lindsey Oil Refinery, Smith & Nephew, Reckitts, Spencer Group and others made clear requests for bureaucracy to be replaced with in-roads into key infrastructure.
The former Labour Party leader, who has praised the Humber 2030 Vision document having seen it launch in Westminster, listened carefully and questioned the company representatives in turn to establish precisely what blocks industry is facing and what needs to happen to get things moving faster.
