Liverpool Bay CCS Limited

Liverpool Bay CCS Limited is a UK-registered private limited company that owns and operates the Liverpool Bay Carbon Dioxide Transportation and Storage (T&S) infrastructure. It serves as the backbone of the HyNet North West industrial decarbonisation cluster, enabling the transport and permanent storage of captured CO₂ from hard-to-abate industrial emitters.

The company is a member of the Eni group, specifically a subsidiary of Eni CCUS Holding Limited, which is jointly owned by Eni SpA and Global Infrastructure Partners (part of BlackRock). Headquartered at Eni House in London, it develops and manages a network that repurposes existing offshore gas production assets—including pipelines, platforms, and the Point of Ayr terminal—while adding new elements such as the Douglas CCS platform and onshore pipelines.

Its core activities focus on receiving CO₂ from capture facilities in North West England and North Wales, compressing and transporting it via new and repurposed infrastructure, and injecting it into depleted natural gas reservoirs beneath Liverpool Bay for safe, permanent storage. The project targets sectors including cement, low-carbon hydrogen, and energy-from-waste.

Phase 1 offers an initial storage capacity of 4.5 million tonnes per annum (scalable to 10 MTPA post-2030), with a total storage potential of around 109 million tonnes over its operating life. Expected to become operational around 2028, the infrastructure supports UK net-zero goals as one of the government's Track-1 CCUS projects and contributes to regional economic growth through job creation and supply chain investment.
