Energy-from-waste specialist Evero announced that it has submitted a planning application for the Ince Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (InBECCS) project, its flagship development within the HyNet industrial cluster in North West England.
As part of this project, Evero will retrofit the existing bioenergy capacity at its Ince biomass plant with CO2 capture technology developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
The project’s strategic location in the village of Ince will enable a connection to the HyNet Cluster infrastructure, which will safely transport and store the captured CO2 emissions.
Evero’s Ince Bio Power site currently generates energy from wood waste, repurposing an exhausted Category C material away from landfills and into low-CO2 power.
According to the company, with the planned carbon capture installation, InBECCS is expected to be able to capture up to 250,000 tonnes of CO2 annually once fully operational.
InBECCS represents the most advanced BECCS facility under the UK Government’s Greenhouse Gas Removals (GGR) business model. Back in 2025, the initiative was selected as a priority under the Government’s Track-1 expansion process within the HyNet cluster.
Through the HyNet infrastructure, InBECCS will transport the captured CO2 emissions for safe and permanent sequestration beneath the Irish Sea. Expected to come online in 2030, this project will generate enough clean energy to power more than 100,000 homes and businesses each year across the Evero portfolio.

Besides clean energy generation and carbon removal, InBECCS will also help reduce landfill waste while creating job opportunities for the people in this region. By developing this project, Evero is catalyzing investment in domestic supply chains and the advancement of low-carbon infrastructure.
“Submitting this planning application marks a major milestone for Evero and for the UK’s carbon removals sector,” said Neil Bennett, Chief Commercial Officer at Evero Energy.
“InBECCS demonstrates how waste wood management and carbon capture can work together to deliver meaningful climate impact while supporting UK industry,” he added.
The submission of the planning application for Project InBECCS paves the way for the formal planning and consultation process for this initiative.
