Peak Cluster has launched a six-week consultation on plans to support the long-term sustainability of the UK’s vital cement and lime industry.

• Four cement and lime producers have come together to form Peak Cluster, a project helping to secure the future for 40% of the nation’s cement and lime industries.
• Morecambe Net Zero (MNZ) and Peak Cluster are collectively expected to safeguard and create 13,000 jobs by 2050, with around 1,500 jobs created across the East Midlands and North West during construction.
• The project, centred in in Staffordshire and Derbyshire, will prevent around three million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions from entering the atmosphere each year.
