Come along and hear about one of Humber region’s leading carbon capture projects, Humber Zero.
Humber Zero first phase intends to capture up to 3.8 million tonnes of CO2 by around 2027 from the Phillips 66 Limited Humber Refinery and VPI Immingham LLP Combined Heat and Power Plant.
The project intends to see an initial investment of more than £1 billion in carbon capture, with further investment intended in additional stages of the project to exceed £2 billion
The Humber region is home to many industries, which are vital to support tens of thousands of local jobs, plus many more in the extended supply chain. These industries are a major contributor to both the local and national economy, supplying everyday goods from petrol to construction materials, metals and plastics, chemicals and food. The Humber region employs large numbers of people in those sectors, with around 60,000 people employed in manufacturing alone.
It is the largest industrial hub in the UK and emits more CO2 than any other UK industrial cluster – up to 50 per cent more than the next largest cluster.
By decarbonising, Humber industry would be able to remain competitive with other similar industries around the world that have also embraced decarbonisation. As a result, it would continue to thrive and support tens of thousands of jobs in the region. Humber Zero is premised on retrofitting carbon capture technology to heat and power generation and existing industrial processes. The captured carbon dioxide would be transported by pipeline to secure storage, deep under the bed of the North Sea.
This exclusive Team Lincolnshire Ambassador only event will be a great opportunity to network, learn more about a local project and includes a tour of Phillips 66 Limited Humber Refinery and VPI Immingham LLP Combined Heat and Power Plant.
Places are strictly limited to 14 and offered on a first come, first served basis. Email to secure your place by Friday 6th January 2023.
