    "For our energy intensive industries, like glass making, or cement, or steel, or ceramics... the security that the future belongs to them." ~ Keir Starmer HyNet will enable industry to continue to operate, manufacturing low carbon products, creating and safeguarding jobs and investing in the North West and North Wales. Encirc produces one in every third glass container in the UK from their factory in the North West. HyNet will supply low carbon hydrogen, generated just up the road by EET Hydrogen, enabling a switch away from the natural gas currently being used to fuel Encirc's furnaces. Watch Keir Starmer at HyNet partner, Encirc's glass container factory last Friday below. #CCS #glass #lowcarboneconomy

    The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has confirmed that our Parc Adfer carbon capture and storage project has passed the ‘deliverability assessment’ as part of the Track-1 HyNet Expansion programme and will progress to the shortlisting and cluster integration assessment stage.   Commenting on the news, Mike Maudsley, CEO of enfinium, said: "We are delighted that our Parc Adfer carbon capture project has passed the Government’s ‘deliverability assessment’ to become part of the HyNet industrial decarbonisation cluster expansion programme.    "To achieve a Net Zero economy, the UK needs to produce carbon removals at scale. Installing carbon capture technology on our Parc Adfer energy from waste facility would not only help to decarbonise society’s residual waste, but it will transform the site into Wales’s largest source of carbon removals and biggest generator of carbon negative power.   "As we now move into the critical shortlisting process, today’s announcement underscores that, if finally selected, Parc Adfer could have carbon capture up and running by 2030, generating carbon removals at scale and positioning Wales as a global leader in the energy and climate transition.” Olivia Powis, CEO of the Carbon Capture and Storage Association, added: "It's excellent news that enfinium's Parc Adfer in Deeside has passed the 'deliverability assessment' enabling it to progress to the next stage of the expansion of HyNet, in Track-1 of the Cluster Sequencing Programme.   "If we are to meet our net zero targets and establish a low carbon economy, we need to deliver projects such Parc Adfer at speed. Importantly for the North Wales economy, decarbonisation does not mean de-industrialisation and, if shortlisted, marks a crucial step for carbon removals in Wales.   "The government's positive decision to progress with Track-1 expansion of HyNet is also of significant importance for the wider carbon capture sector, demonstrating the UK's commitment to deploying carbon capture and meeting net zero."

    🚨 More exciting progress for HyNet! 🚨 We’re delighted to see further steps towards decarbonising the North West and North Wales with EET Fuels. This project will capture approximately 1 million tonnes of CO2 per year—equivalent to 45% of Stanlow’s emissions. This is a major stride towards transforming Stanlow into a low-carbon energy hub and supporting the UK’s net zero targets. 💚 #NetZero #HyNet #CarbonCapture #Decarbonisation #Sustainability Net Zero North West Carbon Capture and Storage Association Cheshire West and Chester Council TheBusinessDesk.com

    🚀 Exciting progress for North West and North Wales’s industrial future! 👷♀️ 250 jobs created during construction and operation 📈 Driving economic growth in the North West 🚗 380,000 tonnes of CO2 removed each year - equivalent to removing 200,000 cars from our roads! We’re thrilled to share that Cheshire West and Chester Council has granted planning approval to build a plant which will capture carbon dioxide from the Protos energy-from-waste facility which will now be built as part of HyNet. The new facility will process up to 500,000 tonnes residual waste each year which will generate enough electricity to power around 75,000 homes. #NetZero #CarbonCapture #Sustainability #GreenGrowth #HyNet #ClimateAction Carbon Capture and Storage Association | Net Zero North West | Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington

    Our plan to establish the UK's first full-scale carbon capture plant for energy-from-waste took a major step forward this week. Cheshire West and Chester Council’s planning committee unanimously resolved to grant approval to our Protos carbon capture project. This pioneering project is expected to capture circa 380,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide from our Protos Energy Recovery Facility, which is currently under construction near Ellesmere Port. That level of carbon reduction is equivalent to taking an estimated 200,000 cars off the road. The project aims to create a technical and commercial blueprint for similar facilities around the country to follow in future. Planning officials said: "The reduction of carbon emissions and energy generation is supported at national level, within legislation, guidance and policy. The proposed development would be one of the first such developments in the UK. As such, the proposal would positively contribute to meeting climate change initiatives and support economic growth.” Welcoming the decision, Encyclis CEO Owen Michaelson said: "We’re delighted by the council’s decision, which represents another significant step forward on our important journey to deliver carbon capture at commercial scale. This project will contribute to regeneration and jobs in the North West, stimulate green growth throughout the supply chain and unlock opportunities to be a global leader in carbon capture. Our goal is to prove that we can continue to deliver a vital public sanitation service while cutting the CO2 emissions that contribute to climate change. We thank the local authority for its careful and efficient consideration of our application and recognising the strategic importance of this project.” The project has already been selected by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero as part of its Track-1 cluster sequencing programme for industrial carbon capture. It will enable fully sustainable treatment of unrecyclable residual household and commercial waste at Protos ERF, which is being constructed by Encyclis and joint owners Biffa. When it begins operations, Protos ERF will process up to 500,000 tonnes per year of residual waste, generating enough baseload electricity to power around 75,000 homes and recovering reusable resources in support of the circular economy. The proposed carbon capture plant, on adjoining land, will capture CO2 from the facility which, as part of the region’s HyNet decarbonisation cluster, will be transported by pipeline for offshore storage in the depleted gas fields of Liverpool Bay. The construction of the plant will support around 250 jobs in the North West region, and an additional seven full-time skilled jobs will be created when it begins operations. We extend our thanks to all of those involved in working towards this important milestone. #carboncapture #protos #energyfromwaste

    "HyNet is unlocking billions of investment at the same time as creating good British jobs for generations to come.” - Sarah Jones, Minister of State at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and Department for Business and Trade. Yesterday, we welcomed Sarah Jones and Mike Amesbury MP to a very sunny North West to visit Encirc and Viridor to see: 🍾 Glass being shaped into drinks bottles of all shapes and sizes, which are then filled and distributed across the UK. HyNet will enable Encirc to switch to low carbon hydrogen, decarbonising glass in the UK and creating new jobs. ♻ In Runcorn, Viridor demonstrated its plan to capture nearly 900,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year as it generates energy from our waste. The Minister highlighted government's commitment to unlocking economic growth and energy security through the building of low carbon infrastructure.

    Cement is a key component of concrete, the world’s most common construction material. However, to make cement, limestone is heated to high temperatures which releases CO₂. Cement is responsible for 7.5% of all human-made CO₂ global emissions. HyNet will enable these emissions to be captured before being transported and locked away under Liverpool Bay. HyNet member, Heidelberg Materials, are engaging with the local community in North Wales as the project moves forward. More info in link in comments.
