Peak Cluster:
Carbon Capture and Storage
A 200 km pipeline, carrying CO₂ emissions, is proposed to run through Wirral to a new purpose-built AGI (Above Ground Installation – a huge industrial complex) in Meols, before being transported offshore via pipeline.
The pipeline will run from industrial sites in Derbyshire and Staffordshire, through Cheshire and Wirral, and aims to transport 3 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually from cement and lime plants, with operations starting around 2032.
