New report shows £180m GVA boost.
The creation of a new low carbon cement cluster in the Peak District is vital and will have a significant economic impact.
💵 £180m GVA increase from this decade.
👷♀️ Safeguard over 2,100 existing jobs
🙋♂️ Create a further 1,500 roles
Today we’re at the High Peaks Jobs and Apprenticeships Fair in Buxton.
Peak Cluster will create and safeguard local jobs, through the creation of essential low carbon materials.
Pop down and say hi!👋
🤝 We’re delighted to announce that Peak Cluster has signed an MoU with @spirit_energy
🏭 This will enable the production of low carbon cement - essential for the UK economy, safeguarding UK jobs, and the construction of homes, hospitals and clean energy.
The Peak Cluster will enable a low carbon transition for the cement and lime industry, expanding into a new low carbon construction products sector, accelerating the UK’s transition to net zero whilst safeguarding UK supplies and jobs.
We’ll be at Ashby Agricultural Show this weekend!
If you’re heading to the show on Sunday, come and say hello and we’ll see how we can help with all your construction material needs.

The UK’s target is to be net zero by 2050.
The Peak Cluster will reduce the regions emissions by 25% across Derbyshire and Staffordshire through carbon captures technology, helping the UK reach net zero, equivalent to taking 1.2 million cars off the road.
📢Join us for a #NetZeroWeek webinar on Tues 4th July, 2-3:30pm.
The webinar will cover:
🔶Perspectives from CCUS cluster proposals in the UK
🔶An overview of the NSTA CO2 storage licensing round
🔶Next steps for CCUS to 2030 & beyond

Did you know that 40% of the UK's lime and cement industry resides in the Peak District?
This means if we can decarbonise the emissions from this essential industry, we can safeguard supplies and jobs, and enable the acceleration of the nation’s transition to net zero.
