Viridon intend to develop a CCS project at their Runcorn Energy-from-waste site. The project is one of 20 which has been shortlisted for phase-2 of the UK government’s CCUS funding and support process. The project alone will capture 900,000 tonnes of CO2 each year, 50% of which includes biogenic CO2, effectively removing 450,000 tonnes from the atmosphere annually. The project is one of 20 which has been shortlisted for phase-2 of the UK government’s CCUS cluster sequencing process.
