Energy and Progressive Energy Limited (PEL) to explore the feasibility of a new, integrated carbon capture, storage and shipping facility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The agreement intends to assess the joint business case and development planning feasibility of a CO2 shipping import terminal, based at STL\u2019s Tranmere Terminal, within the Port of Liverpool, and at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The partnership will also assess the opportunity to transport CO\u2082 volumes received via the new STL shipping import terminal(s) to Spirit Energy\u2019s Morecambe Net Zero (MNZ) carbon store in the East Irish Sea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This collaboration marks the latest step in the ambitious, multi-project vision to transform the Stanlow manufacturing complex into a decarbonised energy hub supporting long term, sustainable jobs and industrial innovation across the region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It further supports Essar Energy Transition\u2019s $3bn investment into its decarbonisation programme, aiming to become one of Europe\u2019s leading low\u2011carbon fuels producers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Mike Gaynon, CEO of Stanlow Terminals Limited, said: This important collaboration brings together the right partners with the right expertise to open up new opportunities for CO2 movement and storage and drives forward Stanlow\u2019s broader decarbonisation ambitions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis work has the potential to strengthen the region\u2019s industrial future, and we\u2019re excited to work with our partners on this project.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Matt Browell-Hook, energy transition, decommissioning and projects director of Spirit Energy, said: \u201cCarbon capture and storage is not the only answer to net zero 2050 but it is a key enabler to decarbonise industry in the UK.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe are progressing with MNZ \u2013 one of the largest offshore carbon stores in the world \u2013 and through this new collaboration with Essar Energy Transition and Progressive Energy, we\u2019re investigating the potential to provide a route to decarbonisation for emitters from around the UK via the Stanlow site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cPartnerships such as these are crucial to deliver the goals of industrial decarbonisation, protecting existing jobs and boost economic growth in the UK.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Chris Manson Whitton, CEO of Progressive Energy Limited, said: \u201cProgressive Energy brings long standing expertise in developing low\u2011carbon infrastructure, and this collaboration gives us the opportunity to apply that to accelerate sustainable industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWorking alongside EET and Spirit Energy, we are focused on designing practical, technically robust solutions for capturing, transporting and storing CO\u2082 at scale.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He added: \u201cOur project development capability will help create the infrastructure needed to secure a strong future for UK industry, safeguard skilled jobs and strengthen the region\u2019s position as a leader in low carbon energy innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe look forward to working closely with our partners to realise this opportunity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-links\">\n<div class=\"previous
