What is Peak Cluster?

 


Centered in the heart of the UK’s cement and lime production region, Peak Cluster is the world’s largest cement decarbonisation project.

Together with storage partner, MNZ, the project will attract £5 billion in capital investment, protect and create thousands of jobs and produce highly sought-after low-carbon cement both for use within the UK, and to export across the globe.

Why is Peak Cluster crucial?


Cement is the key ingredient in concrete, the world’s most widely used material – the foundation for our everyday lives.

As we move into a low carbon future, it is an economic necessity to transition how we produce the UK’s essential materials.

Peak Cluster will:

  • Create, and safeguard, thousands of jobs
  • Secure the long-term future for the UK’s cement and lime industry
  • Produce a ‘homegrown’ supply of sustainable cement and lime – vital for building homes, infrastructure, and ensuring safe drinking water
  • Supply the growing export market for low-carbon cement
  • Prevent over 3 million tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere each year
  • Build infrastructure to unlock low carbon industry across the region
