Kickstarting a green economy in UK’s largest industrial heartland

Submitted by digitalfreelancer on Tue, 03/15/2022 - 11:04

The region has historically been the UK’s engine room and is currently responsible for almost 50% of the UK’s industrial cluster emissions.

After being selected on Track-1 of the government’s cluster sequencing process in October 2021, effectively receiving the green light to become operational in the mid-2020s, the East Coast Cluster (ECC) stands ready to decarbonise industry across Teesside and the Humber. The cluster will protect thousands of jobs and establish the region as a globally competitive climate-friendly hub for industry and innovation.

North Sea CCUS hubs in action

Submitted by digitalfreelancer on Tue, 03/15/2022 - 11:01

To reach net zero, the International Energy Agency estimates that 7.6 gigatonnes of CO2 will need to be captured and stored annually by 2050 using carbon capture and storage (CCS).

Industrial clusters are critical to getting to net zero. While the development of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) so far has been slow, stronger climate targets and investment incentives are injecting new momentum into the technology. Energy Focus spotlights the development of the three most advanced CCUS hubs around the North Sea in Europe, with an introduction by James Richardson, Commercial Director, UK Industrial Decarbonisation at Baker Hughes

While 2021 once again proved that predictions must come with disclaimers, thanks to even more unanticipated events, there is at least some cautious optimism in 2022.

With a spike in demand and higher prices providing energy companies with the means for expansion across both new and traditional energy segments, Jonathan Dyble asks: is the current energy landscape equipped to support major growth ambitions?

Net zero needs nuclear

Submitted by digitalfreelancer on Fri, 10/29/2021 - 11:16

Nuclear plants have provided clean, reliable low-carbon energy for over 65 years, and nuclear is the second-largest source of low-carbon energy globally, after hydropower.

Without new nuclear there can be no net zero, and perceptions must change, says Nuclear Institute Young Generation Network volunteer Vicki Dingwall
