Equinor updates Chamber Council on Zero Carbon Humber progress

Richard Royal during his presentation to the Chamber Council meeting.

RICHARD Royal (pictured), Equinor’s Head of Public Affairs and Communications – Humber Cluster,  gave an update to the Chamber’s Council meeting at Cave Castle in November, on the wider Zero Carbon Humber picture, while Tanguy Cosmao, H2H Saltend Project Director of Equinor talked about kickstarting the Humber’s decarbonisation with H2H Saltend, which explained the current BEIS Cluster Sequencing process, the recent selection of the East Coast Cluster within its first phase, and gave more details on the plans for a hydrogen production facility at Saltend Chemicals Park which will bid into the second phase of this process.

Both presenters then took questions from Humber business leaders about the possible affects and benefits the plans may have for the Humber’s future prosperity.

Chamber President Phil Jones, who chaired the meeting, thanked Richard and Tanguy for their informative updates and said he was really pleased that Equinor had agreed to become Chamber Patrons and he looked forward to further strengthening that working relationship.
