HyNet

unlocking a low carbon future

 “HyNet, is now leading the world in the green energy transition. Carbon capture will create 2,000 jobs in a major boost for the local economy – providing opportunity and spreading prosperity across the region.”

Ed Miliband, Energy Secretary

HyNet is the UK’s leading industrial decarbonisation project.

We are unlocking a low carbon future across the north west of the UK – creating new roles, safeguarding existing jobs, growing a skills base and attracting investment into the region.

The HyNet network will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from across the region by a quarter.

We will do this by:

  • Capturing carbon dioxide emitted by heavy industry
  • Providing locally-produced low carbon hydrogen to power for industry, transport and to heat for our homes and businesses.

By creating a source of locally-produced energy, HyNet will help the UK’s own energy security.
