Swindon Borough Council has approved the construction of a new gas storage dome at Rivan Industries' renewable energy site in Wroughton, despite safety concerns regarding potential gas leaks. The facility will include a 13-meter diameter dome for storing hydrogen and carbon dioxide, consolidating its plans to reduce the site footprint and streamline operations. Development is set to begin in early 2025, with the facility permitted for temporary use until January 2030.
