Saltend Chemicals Park has been chosen as a the site of a new CO2 export facility that will bring tens of millions of pounds in investment.
The Humber Bank location, owned and operated by Stockton-based PX Group, will host 32 CO2 storage tanks as part of a project by Future Biogas to store 200,000 tonnes of liquified CO2 each year by mid-2025.
Future Biogas will transport liquified CO2 by-product from its anaerobic digestion plants and bio-energy facilities around the UK to Saltend, where it will be temporarily stored before being moved on to Northern Lights Carbon Capture and Underground Storage project (CCUS) which is supported by the Norwegian Government and currently under construction.
