The North West is the leading region which already has all the elements required to deliver a net zero carbon industrial cluster by 2040 – including renewables, hydrogen, Carbon Capture Utilisation & Storage (CCUS), nuclear and smart grids. With an unrivalled range of projects, the Cluster offers a multi vector energy system that can drive clean growth.
• A hydrogen network: A hydrogen network will be developed which will initially connect major gas users across the region with the potential to supply hydrogen into the home in the future.
• Hydrogen production: Hydrogen will initially be produced at Stanlow in Cheshire with future phases potentially at Morecambe and with increasing amounts of electrolytic hydrogen into the HyNet network.
• Hydrogen storage: Hydrogen can be stored in salt caverns in Cheshire which are already used to store natural gas.
