With a storage capacity of 4.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year in its first phase, and the potential to reach 10 million tonnes annually during the 2030s, LBCCS is expected to become operational in 2028, in line with the timeline of industrial emitters within the HyNet Cluster. The project will safely and permanently store CO2 in depleted gas reservoirs located beneath the seabed of Liverpool Bay.
The construction program includes the efficient repurposing of part of the offshore platform infrastructure and existing onshore and offshore pipelines, as well as the construction of new pipelines to connect industries across North West England and North Wales.
