Peak Cluster Pipeline – Important Information for Landowners and Farmers
The Peak Cluster is a major project designed to reduce industrial CO₂ emissions from cement and lime production sites across the Peak District and Staffordshire Moorlands. The project aims to transport captured carbon via new 24–36 inch underground pipelines to undersea storage, forming part of a wider national net-zero strategy. In addition will be above ground installations along the pipeline.
Current proposals indicate the pipelines will collect CO₂ from major industrial sites including:
- Tunstead Lime & Cement
- Hope Valley Cement operations
- Cauldon Cement
These routes will then converge before transporting the CO₂ to proposed offshore storage locations at the Morecambe Net Zero beneath the sea bed . Further details are available at Project Overview – Peak Cluster.
Landowner questionnaires now issued
We understand that landowner and occupier questionnaires have begun to be sent out along sections of the proposed corridor. These early forms help project developers gather information about land ownership, access, and potential constraints.
They are also expected to be seeking consents for environmental surveys commencing in March 2026.
