Transporting CO₂ safely and efficiently
We are investing in safely and efficiently transporting the CO₂ captured by our members to our Viking offshore reservoirs, where it will be stored securely from that point on.
Making the most of existing infrastructure
Some of the infrastructure we plan to use for our CCS transportation is already in place. We developed and operated a high-capacity offshore pipeline when we were bringing natural gas from our Viking gas fields back to the former Theddlethorpe Gas Terminal. We know this infrastructure well, and plan to reuse it for CCS transportation to our offshore storage site. An additional new spur line will carry the CO₂ for the final 20km of its journey to storage deep underground. To complete the chain of transportation, we plan to lay a new 55km onshore buried pipeline connecting the Immingham Industrial Cluster to the former Theddlethorpe Gas Terminal. We plan to store 10 million tonnes CO₂ per year by 2030.
