Liverpool Bay CCS provides the CO2 transportation and
storage infrastructure to serve the HyNet North West
Industrial Decarbonisation Cluster.
With a contract value of circa £50 million, this project
reinforces JGL’s expertise in complex underground
engineering and its commitment to advancing the UK’s
low-carbon energy infrastructure.
Carbon dioxide will be stored in depleted reservoirs that
have held natural gas for millions of years, supporting
economic growth and helping the UK reach its Net Zero
objectives.
Our scope covers the design and construction of 53
trenchless crossings across a 35km pipeline route. These
crossings ensure safe pipeline installation beneath
critical infrastructure and natural features.
Infrastructure
Existing infrastructure both onshore and offshore in the
Liverpool Bay area will be repurposed as part of the CO2
transportation and storage infrastructure.
Key elements include:
Crossings under 34 roads, 4 railways, 8 major oil & gas
pipelines, 2 rivers, 1 canal, 1 brook, 1 woodland and 2
tow paths.
A new onshore CO2 pipeline and spur pipelines will be
constructed to link industrial emitters to the Liverpool
Bay transport and storage infrastructure.
Construction on the HyNet project involves a wide range
of trenchless techniques, showcasing Joseph Gallagher
Limited’s technical expertise.
This will support the UK’s energy transition strategy and
net zero target of storing 20-30 million tonnes of CO2
annually by 2030 by capturing up to 4.5 million tonnes of
carbon dioxide per year during the initial phase and up
to 10mtonnes of carbon dioxide per year after 2030.
Works include the installation of 24 shafts to facilitate
tunnel boring machine (TBM) crossings, including two
1200mm TBM drives in excess of 100 metres.
