Viking CCS

The Humber Energy Board has today released its latest report – Delivering the Vision: The Humber’s Roadmap for Industrial Decarbonisation.   As the UK’s largest industrial decarbonisation opportunity, the Humber is key to achieving the new government’s mission to make Britain a clean energy superpower.   We’re a proud member of the Humber Energy Board, which is ready to unlock £15 billion of private investment in the Humber, create over 20,000 new jobs and make the Humber a world leader in decarbonisation.   #VikingCCS has a crucial role to play and aims to safely capture, transport and store 10 million tonnes of CO2 by 2030.   Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/emvtu9VS

Great to hear Sarah Jones, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (ESNZ) Minister giving support for #VikingCCS yesterday - speaking at the Carbon Capture and Storage Association Conference, she discussed how #CCS can support UK sustainability and energy security targets. But Viking CCS will also have a large positive impact on inward investment, jobs, skills and overall prosperity in the Humber region. It has been estimated that decarbonising industries in the Humber provides a route to safeguard over 20,000 jobs. Overall, we calculate that £5 billion of gross value add (GVA) will be added to the region by 2030 across the CCS industry chain (including capture and storage). https://lnkd.in/dPW6UAWW

We welcome progress on Track 1 and today's announcement is an important step towards making #CCS at scale a reality in the UK. The Government now needs to accelerate Track 2 so that projects like #VikingCCS can make a full and meaningful contribution to the UK’s emissions reduction targets.

We’re delighted to have collaborated with a number of businesses in the Humber region to create a video aimed at educating children about the industry’s commitment to a sustainable future.   The video explains various technologies that will help to transform their region over the coming decades, such as #CarbonCapture, as well as showcasing the diverse career opportunities available in the industry.   📽 Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/e5-ZtgDm   #Humber #NetZero CATCH Drax Group Equinor Phillips 66 UK SSE Thermal VPI

Great to hear the Chancellor Rt Hon Rachel Reeves’s support of CCS jobs in the #Humber. Our #VikingCCS project will help create up to 20,000 jobs during construction - as well as further investment in the region.

As Melanie Onn MP says: “Investment in green initiatives is vital” – and that’s why we were excited to join her today at the opening of a new facility at CATCH’s Skills and Apprenticeships Centre. We have supported the Centre as we truly believe it is a fantastic opportunity to build a strong and prosperous workforce for the future and support leading projects such as Viking CCS.
