Eni Gets U.K. Funding for Carbon-Capture Project

By Christian Moess Laursen

 

Eni received government funding for its Liverpool Bay carbon-dioxide transport and storage facilities in northwest England, marking the launch of its HyNet project in the U.K.

The Italian energy major said Friday that the funding allocation was a key milestone toward the execution of the HyNet carbon capture and storage project. It didn't disclose amount of funding.

The project would change one of the U.K.'s most energy-intensive industrial regions into one of the world's first low-carbon industrial clusters, Eni said.

HyNet has an initial storage capacity of 4.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide a year, with the potential to increase to 10 million tons a year after 2030, Eni said.
