Plans to capture up to 10 million tonnes of CO2 in London region

Plans have been released for capturing and storing up to 10 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the UK Thames Estuary and south-east England.

enfinium has teamed up with the Bacton Thames Net Zero Cooperation Agreement (BTNZ), an initiative convened by Eni UK, to decarbonise industrial processes in the region. Initially it aims to capture, transport, and store six million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, before hitting the double-digit landmark.

The BTNZ agreement has been convened with a range of supporting organisations including MVV Environment, Cory, North London Waste Authority, Cadent, Progressive Energy, Summit Energy Evolution (a Sumitomo Corporation Company), SSE Thermal, Interconnector and Fluxys. The participation of Interconnector and Fluxys reflects the potential opportunity for international transport of CO2.
