Engineering and energy advisory consultancy Apollo has been selected to conduct three critical studies for a large-scale UK carbon capture and shipping hub, reports Insider Media.
Aims
The initiative aims to facilitate local and regional decarbonisation across the South West of England, the Midlands, and West Wales.
The 7CO2 hub, strategically located in Avonmouth, will provide a pathway for the permanent storage of post-combustion captured CO2.
The studies will assess the feasibility of transporting CO2 by rail from regional emitters, identify and evaluate land for industrial decarbonisation projects, such as clean power, hydrogen production, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production, and explore cost-effective power supply options, such as renewable generation and small modular nuclear reactors.
Phil Westmorland, Apollo’s decarbonisation director, said: “We’re excited to collaborate on this innovative project, which will have a significant impact on regional decarbonisation efforts and the UK’s climate goals.”
