Today (29 April 2026) Luke Myer MP brought together industry leaders in Westminster to drive forward plans for cleaner growth and jobs for Teesside.

Luke Myer MP chaired the roundtable in Parliament on Wednesday with leaders from across the rail freight, energy and industrial sectors to discuss the future of non-pipeline transport of CO₂ – a key part of delivering carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) in the UK.

The carbon capture industry is rapidly scaling up on Teesside, following the £4bn Northern Endurance Partnership project being granted approval from the Labour Government in 2024.

The meeting today brought together organisations including Navigator Terminals, the Rail Freight Group, trade associations, officials from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, NEPIC and major industrial leaders. Contributions from industry and government highlighted both the scale of the opportunity and the practical challenges that must be addressed to make non-pipeline transport viable at scale.

The roundtable forms part of Luke’s ongoing work as a voice on steel, energy and industrial strategy, and his engagement with businesses across Teesside and the wider North East.

Luke Myer MP said:

“Teesside has always been at the forefront of Britain’s industry, and carbon capture is a huge opportunity for our future. Bringing together industry and government in Parliament is about turning that potential into reality – creating good jobs, backing our industries, and making sure places like ours lead the clean energy transition.”
