A key Humber carbon capture storage and transportation project is expanding beyond the region.
West Burton Energy in Nottinghamshire has entered into a partnership with Viking CCS, the Harbour Energy scheme looking to clean up the refinery-led cluster. The independent power generation company operates a combined cycle gas turbine plant - West Burton B - with a capacity of 1.3GW.
It is a move described as diversifying the range of CO2 capture projects within the Viking CCS network. It has just been renamed from V Net Zero, reflecting the title of the North Sea gas fields it aims to repurpose, with the shipping in of greenhouse gases also proposed via Port of Immingham.
