H2H Saltend Brochure PDF 7 MB H2H Saltend The first step to a Zero Carbon Humber The UK’s ambitious climate targets deserve equally ambitious solutions that build on UK strengths. This project represents a bold but practical first step towards delivering the world’s first net zero industrial cluster by 2040. This is an unparalleled project, location and partnership that can play a leading role in the UK’s journey to net zero by 2050, renew the UK’s largest industrial cluster, and unlock technology that will put the UK at the forefront of a global hydrogen economy.

  • The Briggensian April 1962
    Editorial THE BRIGGENSIAN April, 1962 Trt.l!.ic,E is a dictum of 'T. S. Eliat's: "Li~erature is life and life. literature." When the editors read Briggensian contributians it is quite clear that neither is literature life- contributors rarely write well an things they knaw-nar is cammon life very literary-far contributars' madels are the grave and stodgy whom Paund ance invited us to "greet with thumbs at our nases." This is particularly noticeable in poetry where the content is divarced from actual expenences and the forms are hackneyed rhymings from greater men. Few realise that everyday insights are the stuff af poetry and that to ank verse is a good medium far beginners. Large dases of Whitman are better educatars than the niceties af Tennysan. The fault of Eliat's dictum is nut merely that it is nat true naw, but that it never could be true. The present battle between Dr. Leavis and Sir Charles Snaw turns an this misunderstand- ing; Leavis insists that good literature is the good ilfe, that ,he English Faculty af a University is its intellectual and cultural centre; while Snow paints aut the existence of another basis lar the cultivated and inte1l1gent man, science.

  • A Yorkshire/Humber/Teesside Cluster
    Delivering Cost Effective CCS in the 2020s – a Yorkshire/Humber/Teesside Cluster A CHATHAM HOUSE RULE MEETING REPORT July 2016 A CHATHAM HOUSE RULE MEETING REPORT Delivering Cost Effective CCS in the 2020s – Yorkshire/Humber/Teesside Cluster A group consisting of private sector companies, public sector bodies, and leading UK academics has been brought together by the UKCCSRC to identify and address actions that need to be taken in order to deliver a CCS based decarbonisation option for the UK in line with recommendations made by the Committee on Climate Change (i.e. 4-7GW of power CCS plus ~3MtCO2/yr of industry CCS by 2030). At an initial meeting (see https://ukccsrc.ac.uk/about/delivering-cost-effective-ccs-2020s-new-start) it was agreed that a series of regionally focussed meetings should take place, and Yorkshire Humber (which also naturally extended to possible links with Teesside) was the first such region to be addressed. Conclusions Reached No. Conclusion Conclusion 1.1 The existence within Yorkshire Humber of a number of brownfield locations with existing infrastructure and planning consents means that the region remains a likely UK CCS cluster region. Conclusion 1.2 Demise of coal fired power plants in the Aire Valley will see the loss of coal handling infrastructure and new handling facilities would need to be developed for biomass-based projects Conclusion 2.1 For Yorkshire Humber it is the choice of storage location that determines whether any pipeline infrastructure would route primarily north or south of the Humber. Conclusion 2.2 For Yorkshire Humber (and Teesside) there exist only 3 beach crossing points and two viable shipping locations for export of CO2 offshore (or for import, for transfer to storage).

  • Redh DONCASTER INFRASTRUCTURE STRATEGY
    Redh DONCASTER INFRASTRUCTURE STRATEGY MEETING OUR LONG TERM INVESTMENT NEEDS ANNEX MARCH 2019 1 INTRODUCTION This report is the annex to the Doncaster Infrastructure Strategy main report. It amends the 2015 report with updated baseline data and scheme information. All data is a correct as at spring 2019. The Doncaster Infrastructure Strategy consists of the following sections. A main report setting out the key infrastructure needs facing the borough and how they will be addressed. An annex containing a more detailed description of the key infrastructure proposals and projects. A short summary of main findings and recommendations of the report. The main report includes a schedule of the key infrastructure projects that are required or are desirable to support Doncaster’s growth. This annex covers the following themes. 1. Transportation (strategic highways, rail transport, cycling and bus transport). 2. Education and learning (primary, secondary and further education). 3. Green infrastructure (greenspaces, green routes and biodiversity). 4. Health and social care. 5. Flooding and drainage infrastructure. 6. Community, sport and cultural facilities. 7. Energy and telecommunications. 8. Utilities (gas, electricity and waste water). This annex also highlights gaps in provision (in the absence of funding or committed projects) and looks at how these can be addressed. Copies of these documents are available from our website at www.doncaster.gov.uk/localplan. The information is accurate as of Spring 2019. The Doncaster Infrastructure Strategy will be updated as new information becomes available and infrastructure proposals are confirmed in more detail. 2 CHAPTER 1: TRANSPORTATION 1.1. Strategic transport infrastructure plays a key role in supporting the economic growth of the Borough and the wider Sheffield City Region.

Under the Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2010 (schedule 5, part 1, paragraph 19) a variation may comprise a consolidated permit reflecting the variations and a notice specifying the variations included in that consolidated permit. Schedule 1 of the notice specifies that all the conditions of the permit have been varied and schedule 2 comprises a consolidated permit which reflects the variations being made and contains all conditions relevant to this permit. The requirements of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) 2010/75/EU are given force in England through the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 (the EPR) (as amended). This Permit, for the operation of large combustion plant (LCP), as defined by articles 28 and 29 of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED), is varied by the Environment Agency to implement the special provisions for LCP given in the IED, by the 1 January 2016 (Article 82(3)). The IED makes special provisions for LCP under Chapter III, introducing new Emission Limit Values (ELVs) applicable to LCP, referred to in Article 30(2) and set out in Annex V. As well as implementing Chapter III of IED, the consolidated variation notice takes into account and brings together in a single document all previous variations that relate to the original permit issued.

    October to December 2018 Electric Insights Quarterly Dr Iain Staffell, Professor Richard Green, Dr Rob Gross and Professor Tim Green Imperial College London Drax Electric Insights Quarterly – Q1 2019 Contents Headlines 3 1. The state of Britain’s power system in 2018 4 2. What to expect in 2019 6 3. GB power system records 8 4. The GB generation mix ranking 11 5. Capacity and production statistics 12 2 Drax Electric Insights Quarterly – Q1 2019 Headlines 2018 was another strong year for clean power production. 53% of Britain’s electricity was produced from low-carbon sources, and fossil fuel generation was down by 7% on the previous year, its 8th consecutive fall. The carbon intensity of electricity averaged 217 g/kWh over the year, 8% lower than in 2017. This is the slowest rate of decline since 2013, but it still keeps us on track to meet the Committee on Climate Change’s target of 100 g/kWh by 2030. Britain’s carbon intensity must continue to fall by 6% per year over the coming decade to reach their target, so the current rate of progress must be maintained. This issue reviews the state of Britain’s power system in 2018, looking at how eight key trends have developed over the last decade. The second article looks forwards at what to expect in 2019: the effects of court rulings and corporate pull-outs will start to bite, and many aspects of Brexit may begin to impact on the power sector. 2018 has been a record-breaking year in many ways: wind, solar, biomass and gas generators all hit all-time highs for output.

Construction of the first half of the power station, Drax A, took 10 years Many spin-off landscape projects were implemented including offsite re-use of waste water heat; a mushroom and tomato farm and an eel farm Landscape Design was strongly ecological from the outset.
