121-mile C02 pipe plan
The Sentinel
|February 07, 2026
PLANS have been unveiled to build a world-first 121-mile underground CO2 pipeline from North Staffordshire to the Irish Sea.
The Peak Cluster Pipeline is the brainchild of the quarrying and cement firms which lead the UK’s production of vital building materials - but also produce many tons of carbon emissions.
Tarmac, Holcim, Breedon, Buxton Lime and Spirit Energy, working closely with the SEEL Summit Energy Revolution, Progressive Energy and the Government's National Wealth Fund, form the combined project group.
Due to the massive scale of the project, which will take three years to build across four counties, the scheme is to be decided nationally but the timeline is for the pipe to be operational from 2032.
It is hoped the scheme would create 1,200 temporary construction jobs, while safeguarding 2,000 existing roles.
