Evero has submitted a planning application to equip a wood-burning power plant within the HyNet industrial cluster in North West England with carbon capture and storage (CCS).
Ince Bio Power currently generates energy from waste wood, which the company says is domestically sourced Category C material, which has no other use apart from landfill. It says that by installing CCS it will capture up to 250,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually.
The project was selected as a priority under the Government’s Track-1 expansion process in 2025. It will benefit from shared carbon transport and storage infrastructure, by which the captured CO₂ will be stored beneath the Irish Sea.
Neil Bennett, Chief Commercial Officer at Evero Energy, said:
“Submitting this planning application marks a major milestone for Evero and for the UK’s carbon removals sector.” Operation is targeted from 2030.
