UK government and Eni reach financial close for the Liverpool Bay CCS project
Eni has reached financial close with the UK Government’s Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) for the Liverpool Bay CCS project, a cornerstone of the HyNet North West industrial cluster. The initiative aims to significantly reduce industrial carbon emissions in the Liverpool and Manchester regions by 2028. The project includes the development of […]
Successful conclusion of UK’s first CO2 injection test for CCS at the Poseidon project
Perenco, Carbon Catalyst and Harbour Energy have successfully wrapped up the UK’s first offshore CO2 injection test at the Poseidon project in the North Sea. The project involved injecting liquid CO2 into a heavily depleted North Sea gas field, achieving injection rates above 1 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa). “This technical feat wasn’t just an […]
TGS announces completion of CO2 storage assessments for Gulf Coast regions

CCSA report urges UK government to accelerate carbon capture projects
The Carbon Capture and Storage Association (CCSA) has released a new report outlining key strategies to reduce the costs of CCUS technologies. The report emphasises that achieving the UK’s net-zero targets is unattainable without large-scale CCUS deployment, a view reinforced by the Climate Change Committee’s Seventh Carbon Budget Advice. Key recommendations from CCSA’s report include: […]
