The HyNet Cluster
HyNet Northwest is an innovative low carbon and hydrogen energy project that will unlock a low carbon economy for the Northwest and North Wales and put the region at the forefront of the UK’s drive to net zero.
HyNet will reduce carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions by 10 million tonnes every year by 2030 – the equivalent of taking 4 million cars off the road – whilst creating and maintaining thousands of local jobs. Find out more about HyNet at

One of two Government selected ‘Track 1’ Clusters for industrial decarbonisation. HyNet is supported by fantastic geology with (1) a natural end of life gas field in Liverpool Bay perfect for CO₂ storage and (2) huge salt caverns for hydrogen storage in Northwich.
HyNet is also home to a substantial industrial base – the largest in UK by manufacturing employment (340,000 decent jobs).
EET Hydrogen is at the heart of HyNet and a crucial requirement to enable the hydrogen infrastructure across the region.
hynet quotes
“Hydrogen from HyNet will enable decarbonisation of hard-to-reach sectors.”
Steve Rotheram
Metro Mayor of Liverpool City Region
“…a big step towards a green future.”
Andy Burnham
Mayor of Greater Manchester
“With COP26 on the horizon and the spotlight on practical steps to reach Net Zero carbon emissions, this is excellent progress. It will provide long-term confidence to big employers in the region and investors that, as well as the North West being a leading force in the Green Industrial Revolution, hydrogen as a clean source of power and fuel can, and will, be delivered at a mass scale sooner rather than later.”
Professor Joe Howe
Executive Director, Chester University’s Energy Research Institute and Chair of the North West Hydrogen Alliance
