The UK government has announced a nearly £22bn investment in carbon capture projects on Merseyside and Teesside, aiming to create thousands of jobs and attract private investment.
Sir Keir Starmer emphasized the importance of the investment, stating it would 'reignite our industrial heartlands' and could 'kickstart growth' in the region.
While the government claims this initiative will aid climate goals, some environmental activists argue that it could prolong the use of fossil fuels.
The initiative aims to support the development of infrastructures, enabling the transport and storage of carbon emissions, which could ultimately lead to the removal of 8.5 million tons of CO2 annually.
