Overview

This webinar comes to you from IChemE North West Member Group and Chester and North Wales Member Group, in association with IMechE.

HyNet is a ground breaking industrial decarbonisation project, using a dual approach of carbon capture and storage, and low carbon hydrogen production and distribution to enable existing industry to reduce the CO2 footprint. This project is an ambitious collaboration between a consortium of partners, working closely with government through the Track 1 cluster sequencing process. The low carbon hydrogen will be used to switch industrial users and power generation across the North West away from natural gas.
