Shipping captured carbon into the Humber’s emerging storage facilities - making Immingham the 'epi-centre of the UK's decarbonisation agenda' - has taken a major step forward.
An exclusive commercial relationship to develop a CO2 import terminal at Port of Immingham has been entered into by ABP and Harbour Energy, providing large-scale facilities to handle industrial emissions from other locations. Industrial bases elsewhere in the UK - and potentially mainland Europe - will be able to feed into the Viking CCS project, recently renamed from V Net Zero.
A new jetty to service the import and export of liquid bulks has already been flagged by ABP, with the agreement with Air Products to support hydrogen production announced in August. In addition to handling green ammonia, the jetty is being designed to import liquified CO2 cargoes and will connect to the transport and storage sites.
