en.Wedoany.com Reported - Waste-to-energy company Evero has recently submitted a planning application to the relevant authorities for its flagship project, the Ince Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (InBECCS), located within the HyNet industrial cluster in northwest England.

The company plans to retrofit its Ince biomass plant, integrating carbon capture technology from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The project is situated in the village of Ince and will leverage the HyNet cluster's infrastructure for the safe transport and storage of captured carbon dioxide.

Currently, the Ince biomass power plant generates electricity by burning wood waste, converting Class C waste that would otherwise go to landfill into low-carbon power. Evero stated that once the carbon capture unit is installed, the InBECCS project is expected to capture approximately 250,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually upon completion.

InBECCS is the most advanced BECCS project under the UK's Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) business model. As early as 2025, it was selected by the government as a priority project within the Track-1 expansion process of the HyNet cluster. The captured carbon dioxide will be transported via the HyNet pipeline network for permanent storage beneath the Irish Sea. The project is scheduled to become operational in 2030, providing sufficient clean energy for over 100,000 homes and businesses.

In addition to power generation and carbon removal, the InBECCS project will also reduce landfill waste and create local employment opportunities. Evero aims to drive domestic supply chain investment and low-carbon infrastructure development through this initiative.

Neil Bennett, Chief Commercial Officer of Evero Energy, stated that submitting the planning application marks a significant milestone for both Evero and the UK's carbon removal industry, demonstrating how waste wood management and carbon capture can work synergistically to deliver tangible climate benefits while supporting industry. This submission also signals the project's formal entry into the planning and consultation phase.
