Breedon to play key role in securing a sustainable future in the
Peak District
Initiative aims to cut over 3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide
emissions every year - reducing UK emissions from cement and lime
manufacture by 40%
Breedon Group plc (Breedon or the Group), a leading
vertically-integrated construction materials group in Great Britain
and Ireland, is delighted to announce its involvement in the Peak
Cluster project (the "project"), a world-first initiative with key
partners working together to create a net zero future for the
cement and lime industries in the Peak District.
Breedon's Hope Cement Works, employs over 200 people and is a
significant contributor to the region's carbon dioxide emissions
and will play an integral role in this project as it supports the
region's ambitions to decarbonise.
Together with the Lostock Sustainable Energy Plant in Cheshire
and four other cement and lime plants in the Peak District and
Staffordshire Moorlands, including sites owned by Tarmac, Lhoist
and Aggregate Industries, the project will remove over three
million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year by 2030, a
move that will reduce total emissions from the industry by 40% in
the UK.
Peak Cluster, which is led by Progressive Energy, will see
carbon dioxide emissions captured and transported from industrial
plants in Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cheshire before permanently
storing the carbon dioxide beneath the Eastern Irish Sea. The
project has access to a number of storage options, including
Liverpool Bay CCS, or the recently announced Morecambe Net Zero
project.
Rob Wood, Chief Executive Officer at Breedon Group,
commented:
"Our purpose is to make a material difference to the lives of
our colleagues and customers and communities, and our products play
an essential part in creating a sustainable built environment for
everyone and we are thrilled to play an integral role in Peak
Cluster.
" Securing a sustainable future for the UK's cement industry
will be vital if we are to achieve net zero as a country while also
continuing to invest in our economy and deliver key infrastructure
projects, new homes, schools and hospitals.
"The construction sector offers major opportunities to help the
world build as sustainably as possible and Breedon is committed to
achieving net zero carbon emissions, however we must also look to
support our local areas and the people that we employ. Peak Cluster
is a truly exciting example of where all of these aims come
together."
