The Role of CCS in the UK Energy Transition and the Future of Gas

Find out more on the Liverpool Bay Area CCS (LBACCS) which forms part of the pioneering HyNet North West project. This plans to decarbonise industry in the North-West and North Wales industrial cluster via a combination of Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) and Low Carbon Hydrogen production.

  4. The Role of CCS in the UK Energy Transition and the Future of Gas

United Infrastructure, formerly known as United Living Infrastructure Services, has been working for Liverpool Bay CCS (an Eni company) to design, procure and construct an onshore pipeline system to transport CO2 from industries located in the North-West to permanent storage located deep underground beneath the Irish Sea. The scheme, known as Liverpool Bay Area CCS (LBACCS), forms part of the pioneering HyNet North West project, which plans to decarbonise industry in the North-West and North Wales industrial cluster via a combination of Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) and Low Carbon Hydrogen production.

The 60km LBACCS onshore pipeline incorporates both new build and repurposing elements. As well as being a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (a NSIP) for planning and consenting purposes this system represents a First of its Kind Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) scheme in the UK. As well as being an enabler of Low Carbon Hydrogen production at scale, CCS looks set to kick start a new era of energy infrastructure in the UK and represents a pathway for gas and pipeline professionals to contribute to the UK Energy Transition in support of 2050 net zero targets.

During the visit you will:

  • gain an overview of the scheme
  • Have insights and some learnings (so far) which may be of interest to gas engineers and other pipeline and utility professionals
  • Discuss considerations for IGEM and the UK gas sector, based on the speaker’s interactions with other professionals working in this emerging area.
