Concerns Rise Over Peak Cluster CO2 Pipeline Impact on Lingmere Fishery
The Peak Cluster project, a £5 billion carbon capture pipeline, poses potential risks to Lingmere Fishery's operations and future. Scheduled to transport CO2 from the Peak District to offshore storage, the project faces opposition due to environmental and operational concerns.

The Peak Cluster project, intended to transport CO2 from cement production sites in the Peak District to underground storage, may significantly affect Lingmere Fishery in Moreton. The project, which has received £28.6 million in government funding, aims to begin construction by 2029, lasting until 2032, with a total expected cost of £5 billion.
Local fishery owner Steve Openshaw has expressed concerns regarding the proposed Above Ground Installation (AGI) near his property, including environmental risks such as flooding and the impact on local businesses. Critics argue that the project may enable continued emissions from the cement industry rather than address them at the source.
The effectiveness of public consultation has been questioned, with residents seeking clearer answers on job losses and environmental impacts. The outcome of this project could set a precedent for future carbon capture initiatives in the UK.
