HyNet

HyNet is excited to be collaborating with the University of Liverpool this term to deliver the Real-World Project module for the School of Histories, Languages and Cultures. This partnership offers students a unique opportunity to tackle real-world industry challenges, gaining hands-on experience that seamlessly connects academic learning with practical application.

We’re proud to announce that Heidelberg Materials UK will build the UK’s first carbon capture plant for cement at our Padeswood works in North Wales. With HyNet now approved to move into construction. Cement is essential to modern life 🏗️, but also one of the hardest-to-abate industries. Carbon capture at Padeswood will permanently lock away CO₂ that cannot otherwise be eliminated. Congratulations Heidelberg Materials UK 👏

ENCYCLIS is proud to deliver one of the UK’s first carbon capture plants from energy-from-waste ♻️ With the green light 🟢 now given, construction 🚧 can begin on infrastructure that will capture and lock away CO₂ emissions. This will be the first time in the UK that CO₂ from energy recovery is permanently stored, a blueprint for the future.

A huge step forward for HyNet! 🎉 HyNet has reached its latest major milestone with the green light to begin construction of the UK’s first carbon capture plants to lock up CO₂ from industry. For the first time, CO₂ from the production of cement 🧱 and from a plant creating low carbon energy-from-waste ♻️ will be captured and locked away. Heidelberg Materials UK and ENCYCLIS have signed agreements with Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to: 💷Commit major investment 🤝Finalise contracts with suppliers 🚧Begin construction of the new plants “With investment committed and construction approved, our partners can now start building the infrastructure to cut carbon dioxide emitted from both cement production and producing energy by processing waste. Decarbonisation is about more than reducing emissions. It’s about building a stronger, more sustainable future for our industrial heartlands.” 👷♂️Protecting high-quality jobs 💼 Creating new roles 🔗 Strengthening local supply chains 📈 Supporting regional growth #CarbonCapture #CCS #Sustainability #EnergyTransition #cement #wastetoenergy

🚨 HyNet Expansion: Big Wins for the North West & North Wales as the UK Government has confirmed ten leading carbon capture projects will connect to HyNet — unlocking billions in investment, creating thousands of jobs, and accelerating our clean energy future. 📌 Other Headlines : 🏛️ MoS for DESNZ and DBT visits Connah’s Quay following project selection 🎓 HyNet careers campaign launches ahead of regional fairs 🏆 Novelis wins global award for hydrogen fuel trial 🧂 Uniper & British Salt explore hydrogen storage in Cheshire

📢 NEWS: HyNet projects move forward to Government negotiations 10 projects are beginning negotiations with Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to connect in to HyNet. “Today’s announcement is another great step forward for the North West and North Wales, supporting regional clean energy production and securing further private sector investment. The region has a proud legacy of industrial breakthroughs, and we’re excited to build on that with technology that will provide industry with a route to grow and thrive into the future. Alongside the continuing expansion of the region’s Carbon Capture and Storage infrastructure, we look forward to working with Government to deliver HyNet’s hydrogen network, the most advanced in the UK, delivering homegrown, low carbon energy to industry across the region. These initiatives will cut carbon dioxide emissions, spark investment, create meaningful careers and boost local businesses.” ~ David Parkin, Director of the HyNet Alliance Read more below:

We’re teaming up with Xplore! Science Discovery Centre to bring fun, hands-on climate workshops to schools across North Wales and the North West. 🧪 🔬 🥼 So far, over 350 pupils have learned all about hydrogen and carbon capture, and even got to design their own low-carbon pipeline networks! 🧑🔬 👨🔬 It’s not just about science; it’s about helping young people see how they can be part of the solution to climate change and maybe even inspire future careers in engineering and green tech 🚀. We’re aiming to reach 1,000+ pupils by 2026 🎯 and can’t wait to keep sparking curiosity and hope for a cleaner future 🌟. #stem

We were proud to be the focus of Mersey Maritime’s latest Technology & Innovation Forum, hosted at the University of Liverpool. This was a brilliant opportunity to share HyNet's vision for a low carbon future across the North West and North Wales. 🌊 Decarbonising the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, together
