    CHESHIRE west Council is considering a motion to prevent this carbon capture and storage project going ahead in a couple of days. CO2 from several peak district cement factories will have the CO2 produced during production removed and pumped out by pipeline into Morcambe Bay depleted gas fields. The cost, a mere 5 billion! Theres a lot of opposition, not sure whether just nimbyism or maybe due to cost and unproven technologies' efficacy being exagerated. Would be interested in any views on other alternatives to enable co2 from this sector being reduce.

    I'm not sure Cheshire West had much in the way objection to the Hynet CO2 pipeline coming from the Stanlow refinery in Cheshire West and running through Flintshire to the Irish sea!!!

    What's nuts about the peak cluster is that it's going to cross the Hynet pipeline but not join it. It's beyond me why they can join the pipelines and share the same resource.
  1.  
    The possible ways to decarbonise cement/concrete/lime are

    1) stop using it

    2) CCS

    3) both of the above

    In principle I'm leaning towards 1) but recognise that lots of people are still using it including me, so looks like 2) or 3) are the way we'll be going.

    AIUI the Hynet project will quite rapidly fill up the redundant Douglas gas field it is being pumped into, so a different redundant gas field will be used for Peak Carbon further North near Morecambe, if either/both projects are built.
