HyNet is a UK industrial decarbonisation initiative focused on deploying low‑carbon hydrogen production and carbon capture, transport and storage (CCUS) infrastructure across North West England and North Wales. Operating as a consortium of energy and industrial partners, HyNet plans to produce hydrogen (primarily from natural gas with CO2 capture) and build dedicated pipelines to supply industrial sites, power generation, and transport, while capturing CO2 from emitters and transporting it for permanent storage in depleted offshore gas fields in Liverpool Bay.
The project targets significant reductions in regional industrial emissions by enabling fuel switching to hydrogen and capturing CO2 from hard‑to‑abate sectors such as chemicals, refining, glass, and cement. HyNet is part of the UK government’s CCUS cluster program and is progressing multiple linked projects, including hydrogen production, distribution networks, and CO2 gathering and storage systems, to support the transition of energy‑intensive industries to lower‑carbon operations.

New offshore hub will collect CO₂ from North West England and North Wales and route it via repurposed pipelines to depleted gas reservoirs; delivered in under 18 months; project ~50% complete.
Preferred EPC chosen for proposed Deeside low‑carbon power plant fitted with carbon capture, targeting at least 95% CO2 removal and connection to regional CO2 transport.
The facility will capture 800,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, aiming for net zero cement production by 2029, supporting UK decarbonization and creating jobs in North Wales.
The partnership aims to boost hydrogen use in Europe, South Korea, and the U.S., focusing on infrastructure, supply chain, and mobility to support global energy transition and carbon neutrality.
