Energy firm VPI is calling for urgent government backing to move ahead with a £1.5bn carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in the Humber, one of the UK’s most carbon-intensive industrial clusters.
The company, which powers two major oil refineries and can supply electricity to one million homes via its Immingham plant, wants to retrofit the site with CCS technology.
British families and businesses will be more energy secure as a major carbon capture and storage network is now ready for construction – supporting 2,000 jobs through the Plan for Change.
Launching this new industry for Britain provides a major boost for heavy industry – part of the government’s commitment to backing British manufacturing.
Energy company Eni have today (24 April 2025) finalised a major deal with government which will see them award around £2 billion in supply chain contracts for their Liverpool Bay Carbon Capture and Storage Project, spanning North Wales and the North West of England. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/major-carbon-capture-project-to-deliver-jobs-and-growth?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=govuk-notifications-topic&utm_source=43a609da-9063-4016-ba26-2d687b992af8&utm_content=daily
