A huge decarbonisation project involving one of northern Lincolnshire’s oldest industries has reached a critical point.
The multi-million pound pilot plant to demonstrate industrial scale clean lime production has been built, with the team behind it confident it will be operational before the end of the year. Tech specialist Origen, an Oxford University spin-out, is working with Singleton Birch at the Melton Ross quarry.
The initial phase is closing in on completion, with the team now looking at the second element - deploying a US-based specialist’s technology to use lime to draw CO2 out of the atmosphere.
