Cheshire West & Chester Council has approved plans by EET Hydrogen for the low carbon hydrogen production hub

Ellesmere Port has become the UK’s inaugural manufacturing plant exclusively for electric vehicles, as Stellantis commences production of its all-electric small van

Residents in Redcar, Yorkshire, have written a letter to the government expressing concerns over the lack of local support on the proposed hydrogen heating trials in their town

Under the proposed Energy Bill, firms would be allegedly able to access homes for any purpose related to the hydrogen trial including, the forced installation of hydrogen boilers without residents’ consent

Residents in part of Ellesmere Port could receive free boiler upgrades

The hydrogen hubs are expected to attract around £750m of investment and if approved, work is scheduled to begin on site by the end of 2022

The site will be based near Ellesmere Port and if approved could prevent more than 190,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year

Ellesmore Port will begin solely producing battery-electric vans from 2022 due to a £100m investment from Stellantis

The facility will take PET – the main material used for food and drinks packaging such as plastic bottles and certain food packaging – and convert it into raw materials for new food-grade packaging, without any waste
