UK: Tarmac has successfully produced lime at its Tunstead, Derbyshire, plant using net zero hydrogen to fuel its kiln. The achievement was the culmination of a series of trials substituting various proportions of hydrogen for natural gas.

Tarmac’s lime director Graham Cooper said “Lime has been manufactured in the Peak District for centuries and this forward-thinking project aims to ensure the future of this nationally significant industry as the UK transitions to net zero.”
