About us
Protos is the destination of choice for energy, innovation and industry. Boasting unrivalled connections to some of the region’s biggest industrial forces, Protos can be a powerful strategic energy hub at the core of the Northern Powerhouse. Set on the south bank of the Manchester Ship Canal in the North West of England, the 54ha site is ideally placed to become an industrial micro-climate, with enviable transport links providing access to UK and International markets and surrounding industrial heartland. With full outline consent and part detailed consent; the first confirmed tenants; and infrastructure works underway – the time is now for Protos.

🚀 Exciting progress for North West and North Wales’s industrial future! 👷♀️ 250 jobs created during construction and operation 📈 Driving economic growth in the North West 🚗 380,000 tonnes of CO2 removed each year - equivalent to removing 200,000 cars from our roads! We’re thrilled to share that Cheshire West and Chester Council has granted planning approval to build a plant which will capture carbon dioxide from the Protos energy-from-waste facility which will now be built as part of HyNet. The new facility will process up to 500,000 tonnes residual waste each year which will generate enough electricity to power around 75,000 homes. #NetZero #CarbonCapture #Sustainability #GreenGrowth #HyNet #ClimateAction Carbon Capture and Storage Association | Net Zero North West | Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington
Our plan to establish the UK's first full-scale carbon capture plant for energy-from-waste took a major step forward this week. Cheshire West and Chester Council’s planning committee unanimously resolved to grant approval to our Protos carbon capture project. This pioneering project is expected to capture circa 380,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide from our Protos Energy Recovery Facility, which is currently under construction near Ellesmere Port. That level of carbon reduction is equivalent to taking an estimated 200,000 cars off the road. The project aims to create a technical and commercial blueprint for similar facilities around the country to follow in future. Planning officials said: "The reduction of carbon emissions and energy generation is supported at national level, within legislation, guidance and policy. The proposed development would be one of the first such developments in the UK. As such, the proposal would positively contribute to meeting climate change initiatives and support economic growth.” Welcoming the decision, Encyclis CEO Owen Michaelson said: "We’re delighted by the council’s decision, which represents another significant step forward on our important journey to deliver carbon capture at commercial scale. This project will contribute to regeneration and jobs in the North West, stimulate green growth throughout the supply chain and unlock opportunities to be a global leader in carbon capture. Our goal is to prove that we can continue to deliver a vital public sanitation service while cutting the CO2 emissions that contribute to climate change. We thank the local authority for its careful and efficient consideration of our application and recognising the strategic importance of this project.” The project has already been selected by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero as part of its Track-1 cluster sequencing programme for industrial carbon capture. It will enable fully sustainable treatment of unrecyclable residual household and commercial waste at Protos ERF, which is being constructed by Encyclis and joint owners Biffa. When it begins operations, Protos ERF will process up to 500,000 tonnes per year of residual waste, generating enough baseload electricity to power around 75,000 homes and recovering reusable resources in support of the circular economy. The proposed carbon capture plant, on adjoining land, will capture CO2 from the facility which, as part of the region’s HyNet decarbonisation cluster, will be transported by pipeline for offshore storage in the depleted gas fields of Liverpool Bay. The construction of the plant will support around 250 jobs in the North West region, and an additional seven full-time skilled jobs will be created when it begins operations. We extend our thanks to all of those involved in working towards this important milestone. #carboncapture #protos #energyfromwaste

We’ve always had a clear vision for what we wanted Protos to be - a strategic hub for resource management and energy generation. Whether that's energy, waste, hydrogen or CO2, Protos is about getting the most value from our planet's resources and using them in the most sustainable way. #CleanGrowth #Sustainability #NetZero

As the new Labour government outlines plans for publicly owned carbon capture projects, Peel NRE's development director Richard Barker looks at the role of the technology in reaching net zero. Take a look this piece in Energy Voice, in which Richard explores how local branches will be a key to the growth of the UK's carbon capture network, with a joined-up approach helping broaden the carbon saving opportunities across the region's industries. At Protos, we're preparing to create one of the first carbon capture-ready destinations in the UK, with a spur CO2 pipeline connecting to nearby HyNet carbon capture network. #carboncapture #netzero #CO2 Local branches to spur UK CCUS network growth (energyvoice.com)

We have plans for a local CO₂ pipeline which would connect into the consented HyNet CO₂ pipeline, establishing Protos as one of the first carbon-capture ready destinations in the UK. Our initial studies show this network could capture up to 800,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year – equivalent to carbon sequestered by over 13 million tree seedlings grown for 10 years.

As one of the founding members of the North West Hydrogen Alliance we’ve taken an active role in promoting hydrogen in the North West. Whether it’s our plans to play host to the UK’s first plastic-to-hydrogen facility or supporting HyNet, we’re at the heart of plans to create a regional hydrogen economy. #hydrogen #HydrogenEconomy #netzero
