A multimillion-pound carbon capture plant is to be built at an oil refinery in Cheshire.
Essar Oil UK will build the £360m site at Stanlow refinery in Ellesmere Port to help reduce carbon emissions.
The company said it would also invest in a range of efficiencies to “decarbonise its production process”.
A statement said Essar’s “energy transition strategy” was based on the development of more environmentally friendly fuels.
The firm will also seek to establish the UK’s largest biofuels storage facility at the site, it said.
The government has a net zero target by 2050.
