Founding partners ExxonMobil, the University of Southampton and the Solent Local Enterprise Partnership have launched a new low carbon initiative in southern England. The Solent Cluster involves more than 30 manufacturers, engineering companies, academic institutions, logistics and infrastructure operators and other regional and international businesses.
Once operational later this decade, and with low carbon hydrogen and CCS playing a central role, the project could substantially reduce CO2 emissions through the introduction of sustainable fuels for local transportation, aviation, shipping and residential heating.
