Subject: Notice of Public Consultation – Runcorn Carbon Dioxide Spur Pipeline Proposed Development
Liverpool Bay CCS Limited, a member of the Eni SpA group, will hold a public consultation on the Runcorn Carbon Dioxide Spur Pipeline Proposed Development between 13 March and 10 April 2025.
The Proposed Development would form part of a leading industrial decarbonisation project that aims to tackle carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions and support economic growth in the north west of England and north Wales. It would transport CO₂ from a new carbon capture plant at Viridor’s Energy from Waste facility in Runcorn to the HyNet Carbon Dioxide Pipeline at Ince.
The HyNet Carbon Dioxide Pipeline is a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project, which was granted a Development Consent Order (DCO) by the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero in March 2024.
About the Proposed Development
The Proposed Development would transport CO₂ from a new carbon capture plant at Viridor’s Energy from Waste facility in Runcorn to the HyNet Carbon Dioxide Pipeline at Ince. It will involve:
• The construction of the proposed spur pipeline, approximately 8.7km in length
• An above-ground installation (AGI) to transport CO₂ to the Ince AGI. From Ince, the CO₂ will be transported safely by underground pipeline to the depleted gas reservoirs in Liverpool Bay.
• Temporary construction compound(s) located along the route, within the red line boundary. The exact location of the construction compound(s) is to be confirmed.
• Temporary Access Tracks to link the pipeline construction areas to the local road network where required.
