The UK's HyNet project plans to transport carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the Peak District for storage under Liverpool Bay, aiming to decarbonize cement production and capture up to 0.81 million tons of CO₂ annually by 2027. While the government supports the initiative with £22 billion for carbon capture and storage (CCS), local residents express concerns about safety and environmental impacts, particularly regarding the pipeline's route beneath populated areas. The project is expected to create 6,000 jobs and reduce carbon emissions by 2 million tons by 2050.
