📋 Tender Overview
Location: Humber, UK
The 55 km onshore pipeline will transport captured CO2 from the Immingham industrial area to the former Theddlethorpe Gas Terminal site on the Lincolnshire coast. From Theddlethorpe, the CO2 will be transported 140 km to the depleted Viking gas fields, 2.7 km beneath the seabed, for secure permanent storage.
Led by Harbour Energy, Viking CCS will develop the infrastructure to transport and store CO2 in secure offshore storage sites. Working with a wide range of emissions capture and infrastructure partners, the project will create a CO2 capture, transportation and storage network targeting start-up in 2027 and a reduction of 10 million tonnes of UK emissions per annum by 2030. Located in the Humber, the UK’s most industrialised region and largest emitter of CO2, the project is central to establishing a world leading carbon capture industry in the UK and meeting the Government’s net zero emissions targets. Expected to be operational from as early as 2027, Viking CCS will also reuse existing pipelines and utilise decommissioned gas fields in the Southern North Sea to provide UK industries with a competitive option for the transport and storage of their CO2 emissions.
The statutory consultation process will provide the local community with further information about the pipeline and its route. Viking CCS is targeting submission of a planning application for the onshore pipeline during the first half of 2023. The next major milestone would be the start of construction in 2025, which would support completion and start-up as early as 2027.
Kent was responsible for developing the feasibility and concept selection for the carbon dioxide Transport and Storage facilities including reutilising existing pipeline infrastructure. The company was also responsible for developing the Pre-FEED for the CO2 Transport and Storage network including Flow Assurance (FA).
