The project will provide the transport and storage infrastructure for the HyNet North West Industrial Decarbonization Cluster project, which spans North West England and North Wales. Planned to reach 4.5 million metric tons per annum (MMtpa) of carbon dioxide (CO2) storage capacity by 2030, HyNet will store captured emissions in depleted hydrocarbon fields in the Irish Sea. The HyNet consortium, led by Eni, plans to expand the capacity to 10 MMtpa after 2030. Eni has updated the expected startup date to 2028.
