The Chemistry Council Sector Deal request was recently delivered to Government.

This is an important document which asks government for £500m, matched by industry, to implement a strategy aimed at a 50% increase in the sector turnover by 2030.

If implemented, it will have a significant positive impact on the process sector in the North East with support suggested for inward investment to chemical parks, the hydrogen economy, decarbonisation, plastics recycling, workforce upskilling, support for SMEs and the development of new markets.
