Tata Chemicals Europe has officially opened the UK’s first industrial scale carbon capture and usage plant.
The plant captures 40,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year – the equivalent to taking over 20,000 cars off the roads and reduces TCE’s carbon emissions by more than 10%.
The project will help unlock the future of carbon capture in the UK as it demonstrates the viability of the technology to remove carbon dioxide from power plant emissions and to use it in high end manufacturing applications.
The carbon capture plant, which was supported with a £4.2m grant through the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy’s Energy Innovation Program, marks a major step towards sustainable manufacturing which will see TCE make net zero sodium bicarbonate and one of the lowest carbon footprint sodium carbonate products in the world.
