AACCS – High Peak
Welcome to High Peak
Donations
With your help we can continue our fight against CCS and help spread awareness for our cause.
We are also running a gofundme campaign.
Please help us to meet our target if you can!
Action Against CCS is a committee run, democratic, formalised local campaign action group that opposes CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) in all of its forms, and in particular the construction of potentially lethal CO₂ pipeline corridors and industrial AGI units that will put at risk and spoil our local areas, all around the UK.
AACCS are in partnership with a number of local groups who equally oppose the CCS projects that are going to heavily impact and affect their local areas. One such area is the High Peak area, where the proposed Peak Cluster pipeline will start from, running a completely unnecessary 200km to the sea off the Wirral coastline.

Stop Peak Cluster.
A 200 km pipeline, carrying CO₂ emissions, is proposed to run through Wirral to a new purpose-built AGI (above ground installation – a huge industrial complex) in Meols, before being transported offshore via pipeline.
The pipeline will run from industrial sites in Derbyshire and Staffordshire, through Cheshire and Wirral, and aims to transport 3 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually from cement and lime plants, with operations starting around 2032.
The Impact on our Lives
A multi-billion-pound project – heavily funded by taxpayers
200km pipeline corridor 30–40m wide construction corridor causing widespread disruption
Large-scale AGI (Above Ground Installation) heavily industrial sites
AGIs spanning Chapel-en-le-Frith, Macclesfield, Holmes Chapel and Ellesmere Port
AGIs might be 100m x 100m or more – multiple football pitches in size
Block Valve Stations at regular intervals – up to 50m x 50m
CO₂ transported and stored beneath the seabed – long term impacts uncertain.
