Liverpool Bay CCS Limited, a member of the Eni SpA group, is the owner and operator of the Liverpool Bay Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Transportation and Storage (T&S) infrastructure.
About Liverpool Bay T&S
Liverpool Bay T&S provides the CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure to serve the HyNet North West Industrial Decarbonisation Cluster.
We work with hard-to-abate industries to unlock a low-carbon future for the region by transporting carbon dioxide from capture plants across the North West of England and North Wales, through to safe and permanent storage beneath Liverpool Bay.
Carbon dioxide will be stored in depleted reservoirs that have held natural gas for millions of years, supporting economic growth and helping the UK reach its Net Zero objectives.
CCS will play a critical role in meeting the Net Zero challenge by safely eliminating emissions from industries that currently do not have equally efficient and effective solutions.

Objectives
Help
hard-to-abate industry to decarbonise, creating greener growth opportunities such as energy from waste plants, cement manufacturing, refining plants and unlock a low carbon hydrogen economy for the region, attracting investments and preserving local industry and jobs.
Enhance
economic growth in the region by offering industries the opportunity to store their captured carbon in secure storage underneath Liverpool Bay and mobilises billions of pounds in investments, creating thousands of new jobs and the low carbon value chains of the future.
Support
the UK’s energy transition strategy and net zero target of storing 20-30 million tonnes of CO₂ annually by 2030 by capturing up to 4.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year during the initial phase and up to 10 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year after 2030.
Infrastructure
Existing infrastructure both onshore and offshore in the Liverpool Bay area will be repurposed as part of the CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure. A new onshore CO2 pipeline and spur pipelines will be constructed to link industrial emitters to the Liverpool Bay T&S infrastructure.

Benefits
General Project Benefits
The Liverpool Bay T&S infrastructure will serve the HyNet Industrial Cluster, selected by Government as a Track 1 Cluster to lead the UK Industrial Decarbonisation.
Liverpool Bay T&S will lock away up to 4.5 million tonnes of CO₂ per year in the first phase and up to 10 million tonnes per year after 2030, meaning CO₂ emissions will be safely stored instead of being released to the atmosphere. This is a major contribution to the UK’s target to store 20 - 30 million tonnes of CO₂ annually by 2030.
Liverpool Bay T&S will support growth in the industrial heartlands by helping to create and preserve jobs and unlocking billions of pounds of private sector investments into the region.
The Liverpool Bay T&S infrastructure will serve the HyNet Industrial Cluster, selected by Government as a Track 1 Cluster to lead the UK Industrial Decarbonisation.
For Businesses Joining the System
