The salt making process starts with the brine being pumped up from underground brine streams; in the case of Murgatroyds, this was stored in the Brine Cistern above the Railway Wagon Repair Shop. bp said it is undertaking these surveys to "better understand the local area" and - once proposals have been developed - will carry out public consultations so members of the community can have their say. A large new factory was established in Melbourne, Australia to produce Bisto and salt from 1953. Klembro, the manufacturer of Gravox gravy powder, was also acquired. It also hopes to make Teesside Airport Net Zero in its operations by 2030 - which would be the first of its kind in the UK - and to increase the number of electric vehicle charging points in the Tees Valley by 200% by 2025.

The salt crystals form or ‘set’ on the surface of the brine before sinking to the bottom of the pan. A former salt works is being eyed to be used as part of of a major hydrogen project, Teesside Live can reveal. With the assistance of the Development Bank of South Africa (DBSA), shareholders of Cerebos Limited funded the erection of a new plant to successfully produce Pure Vacuum Dried food grade salt to the South Africa consumer. A bp spokesperson said: "H2Teesside is a proposed large-scale low-carbon hydrogen production facility in the Teesside area. The project aims to boost the region’s ambitions to become a low-carbon energy powerhouse in the UK, supporting decarbonisation of the nearby industries by enabling them to use low-carbon hydrogen energy in their manufacturing processes. Intensive tests were conducted on SALTWELL as a functional ingredient and suitable replacement for salt. Salt is mostly used in meat products for the water retention capacity, shelf life and taste. The results of a sensory IPSOS Salt functionality analysis test performed by a trained panel, show no significant difference in sensory properties between hamburgers made with SALTWELL and regular salt.

Cerebos salt is sold in Western Europe (including France where it is spelt Cérébos), Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The Australian and New Zealand operations were part of Cerebos Pacific, and now owned by Kraft Heinz which acquired most of its assets from Suntory Holdings in 2018, and includes the well known local brands: Some of Net Zero Teesside's top priorities include delivering the UK’s first decarbonised heavy industrial cluster by 2040 and creating a National Hydrogen Transport Hub, supporting the transition to zero-emission transport. bp also announced plans to bring a second hydrogen production facility to the area - called HyGreen Teesside - in late 2021, which is targeting around 60MWe of green hydrogen production by 2025. Green hydrogen is generated by renewable energy, therefore leading to even fewer carbon emissions when it is made.

The hard work paid off once we launched the sculpture, the public response was fantastic and our Youth Theatre did a drama piece on the Bisto Kids for the Folk and Boat Festival whee we put the Bisto Kids on display for the first time. We heard a lot of people’s stories about the Bisto Factory and many remembered the Kids with affection. The Tales of Wych and Water is derived from the Canal and Salt Town Middlewich project aimed at celebrating the Canal and Salt heritage of the town, concentrating on the historic changes and relationship between the canal, the salt industries and the community. c1908 The Cerebos salt company invented the Bisto gravy powder product (a mixture of salt, flavourings and colourings), at its salt factory. H2Teesside is aiming to begin production in 2027, targeting 1GW of hydrogen production by 2030. With this, it would generate and send for storage up to two million tonnes of CO2 per year.Once our proposals have been developed, a public consultation will be undertaken, where all community members will have the chance to review project proposals and have their say.

In March 2021, bp announced plans to create the UK's largest 'blue' hydrogen plant - called H2 Teesside - hoping to develop a 'clean' hydrogen industrial cluster as well as bring a vast number of jobs to the region. A G Linfield, best known for Chesswood canned mushrooms, was acquired in 1963. Production was relocated to Vauxhall. The Greatham factory was one of the best-equipped food factories in the world by 1930. By this time Bisto outsold Cerebos salt, but both brands were household names, and Saxa continued to grow in popularity. Committed to its role as a nation builder, the business welcomed BEE partner Khumo Bathong Strategic Investments (KBSI) in March 2006. Having acquired a significant stake in Cerebos Ltd, they provided both equity capital & strategic input that has proven to be crucial in securing an exciting new venture.The combined 1.5GW capacity of HyGreen Teesside and H2Teesside could deliver 30% of the UK Government’s target of developing 5GW of hydrogen production by 2030. Teesside the 'go-to place for innovation in hydrogen sector'
