Celtic Freeport

The Celtic Freeport – covering the ports of Milford Haven and Port Talbot - will accelerate the low-carbon economy in Wales’ industrial heartland. It spans clean energy developments and innovation assets, fuel terminals, a power station, heavy engineering and the steel industry across South-West Wales. The vision of the Freeport is to create a green investment and innovation corridor to help drive major inward investment, future skills development and national decarbonisation. Now entering its delivery phase following the designation of its final business case by the UK and Welsh Governments, the Freeport will support new manufacturing facilities and major port infrastructure upgrades to support the roll-out of floating offshore wind (FLOW) in the Celtic Sea. It will also provide the backbone for a cleaner future based on the hydrogen economy, sustainable fuels, carbon capture and storage, cleaner steel and low-carbon logistics. In this podcast series, host Carwyn Jones is joined by Celtic Freeport CEO Luciana Ciubotariu and guests to explore the role of the Celtic Freeport in decarbonising South Wales and the economic opportunities it will open up to businesses, the workforce and communities.
