Plans for a £200 million carbon capture facility at the Parc Adfer waste-to-energy plant in Connah's Quay, Wales, have been approved after a delay due to cross-border consultation issues. The project aims to capture around 241,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually and is shortlisted for connection to the HyNet North West carbon transport and storage network beneath Liverpool Bay.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You should account for the new opening in Wales' carbon capture market now legally cleared despite past community objections. The link to HyNet North West creates a direct path for selling carbon transport and storage services in your project plans.
