HyNet will capture and store over a million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) from industry and store this offshore in depleted gas fields in Liverpool Bay, which are currently operated by Eni. HyNet will also subsequently produce hydrogen as a fuel for both heating, power and transport. A UK-first at such large scale, the first phase will be operational by 2024.

Decarbonising the transport sector is a key element of UK government policy for meeting climate change targets. Against this backdrop, the market for electric vehicles (EVs) is growing rapidly and EVs are currently leading the way in decarbonising road transport, at least for domestic and light commercial use. However, as the uptake of EVs is increasing, the impact of charging requirements on the electricity networks is becoming an issue. Might this, coupled with the existing regulation in this area, seriously hamper the adoption of EVs?
