Background

Located alongside the Lindsey oil refinery, it provides 38 MW of combined-heat-and-power (CHP) to the industrial site.[9] The refinery, along with the attached power plant were sold by total to Prax group in 2020, where it joined the "V Net-Zero Humber Cluster.[10] As part of this project, Prax intends to equip the refinery and its' attachments with carbon-capture technology.[11]
