UK-based high-volume carbon capture and storage (CCS) solution formerly known as V Net Zero has changed its name to Viking CCS in a move that aims to ‘better reflect’ the strengths of the project’s capabilities.
The newly rebranded initiative is developing carbon dioxide (CO2) transportation and storage infrastructure in the Humber – the UK’s most industrialised and largest CO2-emitting region.
With its first capture scheduled for as early as 2027, Viking CCS is targeting a reduction of 10m tonnes of UK greenhouse gas emissions per annum by 2030.
CO2 captured from industrial processes will be stored 2,700m (9,000ft) below the seabed, beneath a ‘SuperSeal’ of between 180m (600ft) and 300m (1,000ft) of salt.
