Bold decisions required to unleash the Humber on Net Zero - Ed Miliband hears from business

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.
