A clutch of Humber-based pioneering carbon capture projects have moved a step closer to delivery.
Schemes involving new power generation and hydrogen production, as well as existing industrial emission abatement have been selected for the due diligence stage of the government’s cluster sequencing process. Keadby Three, H2H Saltend, Humber Zero and Prax Lindsey Oil Refinery all progress, as part of the East Coast Cluster, announced last year as a forerunner. Linking up with Teesside industry, it will transport CO2 to depleted oil and gas fields beneath the North Sea.
In total 20 projects have met the Whitehall criteria, with the North East, North Wales and North West making up the balance.
