Yorkshire and Humber named first CCS low carbon economic area
Yorkshire and Humber have been named as the first low carbon economic area for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).
The CCS Industrial Strategy sets out how the UK can make the most from its knowledge and skills in engineering, geology and the subsea sector and become a centre for CCS innovation and business.
Yorkshire and Humber’s Ferrybridge power station, owned by Scottish and Southern Energy, was awarded £6.3 million towards its £21 million 5MW carbon capture trial by DECC, the Technology Strategy Board and Northern Way.
Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband said: "CCS presents a massive industrial growth opportunity for the UK. Coal is the most abundant worldwide energy resource but it is also the most polluting, so there is no solution to climate change without CCS."
"For the UK economy as a whole these benefits could be worth up to £6.5 billion a year, sustaining jobs for up to 100,000 people, by 2030."
