Peak Cluster: Carbon Capture Project Faces Local Backlash

The Peak Cluster project, a £5 billion initiative, aims to capture carbon emissions from cement factories in the Peak District and store them in old gas fields off the Morecambe coast. The UK government has already invested £28.6 million. However, the project faces local opposition, with councillors and MPs calling it out. The chair of Peak Cluster admitted theres little support in Wirral and promised more environmental checks and public talks. The project argues carbon capture is crucial for UK jobs and net zero by 2050, despite local concerns.
