The UK’s biggest carbon capture project is taking CO2 from burning gas and using it to make sodium bicarbonate for dialysis machines, pharmaceutical tablets and baking soda
The new Tata Chemicals Europe plant at Northwich in north-west England is currently on track to capture about 36,000 tonnes of CO2 a year. Eventually, this will rise to 40,000 tonnes, about 11 per cent of the facility’s emissions, and more than 100 times the amount captured inMartin Ashcroft at TCE says the £16.7 million demonstration project, helped by a £4.2 million government grant, shows net zero doesn’t mean outsourcing manufacturing overseas.
The CO2 is captured from a gas-fired power plant at the facility and isn’t stored, but purified and turned into liquefied CO2 to make sodium biocarbonate. “Effectively, we are making our own raw material,” says Ashcroft. TCE previously bought most of its CO2 from two of the UK’s biggest fertiliser plants, one of which is closing.
