Protos

Plans for a new factory on the Ellesmere Port which would capture harmful carbon dioxide emissions and store them under the sea have been officially submitted.

The Carbon Capture Facility is proposed as part of the planned 49.9MW Protos Energy Recovery Facility (ERF), which is currently under construction and will emit flue gases once it begins running at is base near Marsh Lane, Ince.

Captured CO2 would be exported along a pipeline as part of the HyNet scheme, transported to be stored in depleted gas fields under Liverpool Bay.
