CCSA Welcomes the Launch of the Celtic Freeport

The CCSA welcomes the launch of the Celtic Freeport. This is a transformative opportunity for South West Wales and will drive the region’s transition to a low-carbon economy, creating high-quality jobs, boosting economic growth, and delivering the UK’s net zero ambitions.

Welcoming the launch CCSA UK Director, Mark Sommerfield, recently said:
“The launch of the Celtic Freeport marks a significant step towards unlocking Wales’ industrial decarbonisation potential. By providing the infrastructure and investment needed to deploy carbon capture and storage at scale, the Freeport will support the transition of key industries, create high-quality jobs, and help position Wales as a leader in low-carbon innovation. The CCSA looks forward to working with the Westminster and Welsh Governments as well as the industry to ensure CCUS plays a central role in delivering the Freeport’s vision and driving long-term economic and environmental benefits for South West Wales and beyond.
