HyNet North West and independent power producer InterGen have released exciting plans to collaborate to create a low carbon power station at InterGen''s Rocksavage Power plant in Liverpool City Region.
Expected to begin in the mid-2020s, the partnership could reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2)emissions from the power station in Runcorn by over 150,000 tonnes each year, the equivalent of taking 60,000 cars off the road every year.
The plans are part of an ever-increasing list of benefits to the region from HyNet North West. Situated across one of the UK''s largest industrial areas which supports the highest number of manufacturing jobs of any UK region1, HyNet North West will bring clean growth to safeguard jobs, and create thousands of new employment opportunities.
HyNet North West will begin decarbonising the North West and North Wales region from as soon as 2025, replacing fossil fuels currently used for electricity generation, industry, heating homes and transportation with clean hydrogen. The project will also capture and lock up carbon which is currently emitted into the atmosphere.
InterGen have owned and operated the gas-fired Rocksavage plant for nearly 25 years. It anticipates that by 2028, Rocksavage will have enough hydrogen produced by HyNet to move towards a 100% net zero power generation power station as the Gas Turbine technology becomes available.
Rocksavage has been safely generating energy to power the north west for nearly 25 years. But in order to meet the UK''s net zero targets, traditional generation needs to adapt.
“HyNet North West will allow us to pivot our operations as we transition to a low-carbon world. The proximity of the Rocksavage Power Plant to the HyNet North West hydrogen network provides us with an exciting and unique opportunity.”
“As soon as the first stage of the hydrogen network is available at Runcorn, InterGen intend to modify the existing generating plant to consume a blend of hydrogen with natural gas and start to reduce our emissions.”
“The HyNet North West project milestones mean that Rocksavage could be the first plant in the UK to blend Hydrogen with natural gas, a step forward for the industry in the target for net-zero. Once the gas turbine technology becomes available, we will explore options with HyNet North West to create a zero emissions power station using 100% hydrogen."
"I am committed to doubling the number of green jobs in our region and exciting projects like HyNet will be a key part of that. We''re going to lead the way, not only in doing our bit to tackle climate change, but in pioneering new and innovative technology that in turn attracts more jobs and investment to our region."
“It will ensure the region remains an attractive location for investment and for companies to grow through the establishment of a clean economy, protection of skilled jobs and creation of thousands of new long-term employment opportunities.”
"Our partnership with InterGen at Rocksavage shows just how great an impact HyNet will have on the region – decarbonising homes, workplaces, travel and industry."
