  • 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).

Coal by Rail: Historic Trends and Transhipment Modelling Preliminaries Executive Summary This paper presents a detailed account of the historic trends of coal transportation by rail in Great Britain over the last 50 years. The Re-shaping Britain’s Railways report by the British Railways Board in 1963 highlighted increasing inefficiencies of freight transportation by rail, and consequently established the Merry-Go-Round (MGR) system at both coal terminals and coal pits, to improve speed and performance so rail would be able to effectively compete with road haulage for the transportation for freight (Jones, 2012). Most recently, coal is increasingly imported to the UK to coastal ports from Europe and the rest of the World. As a consequence the movement of trains on the network combined with new coal locations have changed the distances and destinations of coal trains compared with before the report in 1963.
