A 200 km pipeline, carrying CO₂ emissions, is proposed to run through Wirral to a new purpose-built AGI (above ground installation – a huge industrial complex) in Meols, before being transported offshore via pipeline.
The pipeline will run from industrial sites in Derbyshire and Staffordshire, through Cheshire and Wirral, and aims to transport 3 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually from cement and lime plants, with operations starting around 2032.
A multi-billion-pound project – heavily funded by taxpayers
200km pipeline corridor 30–40m wide construction corridor causing widespread disruption
Large-scale AGI (Above Ground Installation) heavily industrial sites
AGIs spanning Chapel-en-le-Frith, Macclesfield, Holmes Chapel and Ellesmere Port
AGIs might be 100m x 100m or more – multiple football pitches in size
Block Valve Stations at regular intervals – up to 50m x 50m
CO₂ transported and stored beneath the seabed – long term impacts uncertain

Action Against CCS is a committee run, democratic, formalised local campaign action group that opposes CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) in all of its forms, and in particular the construction of potentially lethal CO₂ pipeline corridors and industrial AGI units that will put at risk and spoil our local areas, all around the UK.
We mean business and we will not be standing still or wasting time. We are well equipped with the skills needed to represent, assist, and support the people in our communities and we will make it clear to all parties why these CCS plans should not continue or be implemented.
