Government names developments qualifying for evaluation for connection to East Coast, Hynet and reserve Scottish clusters

More than 40 individual carbon capture and storage (CCS) and hydrogen projects have qualified to potentially be connected to the UK’s East Coast, Hynet and Scottish low-carbon industrial clusters.
