Dear Crossness Nature Reserve Supporters,

We are devastated that on 5 November the Secretary of State approved the carbon capture plant to be built by Cory Energy on Crossness Nature Reserve, it was recommended by the government inspectors report and upheld by the government.

We are looking at the options now and will update everyone in due course. 

Thank you for your support, it is important we spread the word that this sets a terrible precedent for large-scale industrial development in the name of net zero building on a nature reserve which is part of ancient marshes, a natural carbon sink. 

You can express your displeasure with the Secretary of State’s decision through contacting:
