HyNet project on track to be operational by 2024
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.

Gas must go green now
Chris Train, former chief executive of gas distribution network Cadent recently took on a role spearheading the Energy Networks Association’s new Gas Goes Green initiative to advance the creation of a net zero gas grid in the UK. Here he explains why this mission is so crucial to a successful and affordable energy transition.

Debating the steep path to net-zero 2050
February brings twin conferences for the sector: the Future Networks event on 25 February, followed by the Future of Heat on 26 February. The events will allow the sector to debate its response to the huge challenges it faces: the net-zero by 2050 target, combined with the additional pressure it has created ahead of the RIIO-2 regime, then the abandonment of natural gas and heat decarbonisation.
