Cheshire West and Chester Council<\/a> has welcomed news of a \u00a372m decarbonisation funding boost to create thousands of new jobs and place the borough at the centre of the country\u2019s green industrial revolution<\/h2>\n

The HyNet North West<\/a> hydrogen and carbon capture storage project have secured funding from the government and from the project’s consortium, to help transform the North West region into the world\u2019s first low carbon industrial cluster.<\/p>\n

The funding will also support Cheshire West and Chester\u2019s aim to achieve \u2018net-zero\u2019 greenhouse gas emissions<\/a> by 2045.<\/p>\n

West Cheshire forms a central element of the North West Industrial Cluster, which contains the largest concentration of advanced manufacturing and chemical production in the UK.<\/p>\n

Under the plans, HyNet North West will begin to transform natural gas into low carbon hydrogen at the Essar Stanlow by 2025. This clean energy source<\/a> will be piped across the region to power industry, provide fuel for public transport and commercial vehicles, generate electricity and heat homes.<\/p>\n

By 2030 HyNet North West will have cut carbon dioxide emissions by up to 10 million tonnes a year. The project should create more than 6,000 new jobs and protect many existing manufacturing jobs in the region. In total, HyNet North West will help to support 75,000 jobs across the country by 2035.<\/p>\n

A game-changing project of strategic importance<\/h3>\n

Council leader, Louise Gittins, said: \u201cCheshire West and Chester has an ambition to be at the heart of the UK\u2019s leading decarbonisation<\/a> cluster, and export skills and knowledge nationally and internationally to support global action on climate change. It has a unique collection of natural assets and technical expertise to make that a reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe HyNet North West project is comprehensively supported by regional leaders as a means to address carbon emissions, which are among the highest in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis exciting and world-leading project is essential for retaining our economically vital industry which employs over 340,000 highly skilled people in our region, the most of any part of the UK. At the same time, it will create thousands of new green jobs here and across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

David Parkin, director of progressive energy and HyNetNW project director, added: \u201cWe know we cannot reach net zero without decarbonising industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is uniquely developed to be low-cost and deliverable and will begin decarbonising the north-west by 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the production of low carbon hydrogen and the capturing, and storing, of carbon dioxide, it offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create real change in how we produce and use our energy, establishing a cleaner world for future generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will unlock a low carbon future economy in North West England and North Wales, not only reducing emissions but also creating and safeguarding jobs. We are pleased to be working with Government on making the Green Industrial Revolution<\/a> a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

The project is a collaboration between locally-based partners Progressive Energy, Cadent, CF Fertilisers, Eni UK, Essar, Hanson, INOVYN (part of the INEOS Group) and the University of Chester.<\/p>\n
