Padeswood CCS plans reach another milestone

We have signed a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for a carbon capture plant at our Padeswood cement works.

The agreement, with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Worley, marks another milestone in our plans to create the UK’s first net zero cement works.

CEO Simon Willis said: “This is a decisive next step in our plans to install carbon capture technology at our Padeswood cement works. Once operational, it will provide net zero building materials for major projects across the country, enabling us to help decarbonise the construction industry and meet our ambition to become a net zero business.”

Our plans at Padeswood are part of the HyNet North West decarbonisation cluster, which aims to create the world’s first low carbon industrial cluster through its development of a hydrogen and carbon capture and storage project.
