Cardiff Capital Region started the process of acquiring the Aberthaw site in March 2022. The fly ash might seem like a problem to be solved but really it is a metaphorical ‘gold mine’.
In the summer of 2022, we tested Aberthaw ash samples at Imperial College London and Cardiff University Engineering departments. The ash at the Power Station site is of extraordinarily high quality for our process. Given the shared strategic goals between Celtic Minerals, Cardiff Capital Region, and the Welsh Government, Aberthaw is the ideal site for launching this industry-changing technology.
This green-tech project would breathe life into the entire South West Wales region through high-visibility industrial regeneration. The plans clearly align with the Future Generations Act and with the Welsh Government agenda to support business innovation, reduce energy consumption, become carbon neutral, create jobs, capitalise on Welsh assets and above all reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
This project would save over half a million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year for more than twenty years.
