Humber Zero will benefit the community, the climate and the economy
The Humber region is a critical centre for UK industry. It is also home to 850,000 people. The intelligent way to manage climate change is to create balance. We need greener energy, plus effective industry. Humber Zero will enhance a thriving community and significantly reduce levels of greenhouse gases being emitted to the atmosphere.
This is a major project to benefit the Humber and the UK.
At the heart of the Humber
Humber Zero is located in North Lincolnshire, on the south bank of the River Humber. The area’s industry makes a significant contribution to the local and UK economy.
Decarbonising Humber industry will allow it to continue to thrive in an increasingly decarbonised market, sustaining tens of thousands of jobs in the region.
Humber Zero is expected to make a major contribution to the UK Government’s Net Zero targets, with the potential to capture up to 8 million tonnes of carbon from industry and power generation by 2030.
A dual approach to decarbonisation
The UK has ambitious carbon reduction targets and carbon capture will be essential to meeting those ambitions as part of wider efforts to tackle CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
Humber Zero will tackle decarbonisation in two ways, using both pre-combustion and post-combustion carbon capture. It will be one of the ways the Humber Industrial Cluster reduces the amount of CO2 it emits to the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas.
