HyNet North West
The HyNet North West Consortium HyNet comprises a core consortium of eight partners who are developing the project’s main infrastructure. This includes Eni, who are leading the development of the CO2 pipeline. HyNet also works closely with a wide range of global companies and brands across many sectors – from chemicals, glass and oil refining to food, paper and automotive. These organisations are supportive of HyNet and are ready to actively explore the switch to low carbon hydrogen as soon as it is available from HyNet. This will enable us, as consumers, to buy products from brands which are contributing towards the fight against climate change.
The story so far To successfully tackle climate change, all parts of the economy must decarbonise and become greener, including heavy industry. That’s why the Government has prioritised HyNet North West as one of the first two clusters to decarbonise some of our biggest industrial areas.
North West England and North Wales have always been areas of industrial innovation, providing much of the food, fuel, products and services that allow this country to thrive. The region has a proud industrial heritage and remains home to many world-class industries including chemicals, glass, ceramics, oil refining, food, paper and automotive. However, these energy intensive sectors currently emit significant amounts of CO2 during their manufacturing, and need to decarbonise to enable long-term, sustainable operation. The region’s legacy has resulted in an abundance of highly skilled workers and infrastructure. This means that instead of building ‘from scratch’, HyNet can re-purpose existing infrastructure and benefit from a first-class workforce, allowing us to find more efficient ways to help the region to decarbonise for the future. HyNet will not only be providing low carbon energy for industry. Hydrogen can also power transport and blend into the gas network to heat our homes, helping to reduce emissions in our day-to-day lives. Once operational, the project will support a low carbon future across Liverpool City Region, Greater Manchester, Cheshire, North Wales and Lancashire.
Benefitting local people and the environment Creating opportunities for hydrogen production and carbon capture will bring benefits for local people, the region, and the UK as a whole. HyNet is a national infrastructure project with a regional focus. Not only will it make a big difference towards reducing the amount of CO2 we emit, it will also have longer- term benefits. Through developing HyNet this, we will help foster a new age of industrial innovation in North West England and North Wales.

Carbon Capture and
Storage technology
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a safe and proven technology that securely
stores CO2 and prevents it from being released into the atmosphere. It is the
first step in our vision for Net Zero. The UK Government and the Climate Change
Commission see it as an essential technology for the UK to achieve its net zero
emissions reduction target. The CO2 is captured at source from industry. It is
then transported by pipeline to permanent underground storage sites.

POINT OF AYR
GAS TERMINAL
The CO2 will be safely transported to depleted
reservoirs in Liverpool Bay by a pipeline network
comprising new and existing pipelines. This HOLYWELL

consent will be applied for separately. Proposed Ince - Stanlow Pipeline (up to 20”)What happens offshore? The CO2 will be transported in a pipeline under the sea from the foreshore at Talacre to multiple existing offshore platforms, located in Liverpool Bay. From here, the CO2 will be injected into the depleted gas reservoirs. These depleted reservoirs are a safe, secure and natural way to store the captured CO2. We’re reusing these natural features which have stored fossil fuels for millions of years. The offshore CO2 pipeline does not form part of this consultation. We will consult with the relevant stakeholders on the offshore works, including the Oil and Gas Authority, the Marine Management Organisation and other environmental bodies to ensure their views are taken into account and incorporated into the offshore design.

Strategy to make the final decision on whether to grant

We intend to submit a DCO application in Summer 2022.As well as the DCO application, we will also be seeking planning permission from Flintshire County Council for potential works to modify the existing pipeline and the facilities at the Point of Ayr (PoA) Terminal. These elements of the project do not form part of this consultation, which is focused on the DCO application, but they will be subject to a separate consultation later in 2022. In summary the planning application to Flintshire County Council will include the following elements: • Modifications to the PoA Terminal The decommissioning and/or demolition of some of the existing natural gas processing equipment which cannot be repurposed for use with CO2. We will also apply for permission to construct and operate new equipment used to process and compress the CO2 prior to it being transported to the permanent underground storage site beneath Liverpool Bay. • Foreshore works The decomissioning and removal of the existing BVS located in the field to the west of the Talacre Beach Holiday Park (known as Warren Farm) and the installation of a below ground electricity cable and fibre optic cable from the PoA Terminal to the shoreline to the north-west of the PoA. On completion of these works there would be no above ground infrastructure visible.

The compounds would include manually operated lighting for when the AGI is undergoing maintenance in low light conditions. It would not be permanently lit. The AGIs will be designed to accommodate the following provisions: • Pipeline inspection gauge (PIG) launcher facilities. • Connection point, PIG receiver, and high-integrity pressure protection system (HIPPS). • Associated infrastructure (control mechanisms, lighting, parking provisions, access arrangements, and electrical and instrumentation kiosks).

‘Block Valve Stations (‘BVSs’)’ may be installed.
BVSs are used to isolate sections of pipeline for maintenance

adSection 1 Section 1 is located entirely within the Cheshire West and Chester Local Authority boundary, and spans four Parish boundaries (Ince, Elton, Dunham on the Hill and Hapsford, and the Cheshire West and Chester unparished area). Section 1 captures the entire Ince to Stanlow CO2 pipeline route, including the associated AGIs. It includes the Ince AGI, located adjacent to the existing CF Fertiliser Plant off Marsh Lane, and the Stanlow AGI, located within the existing Stanlow Manufacturing Complex which is located north of the A5117 and west of Elton Green. Starting at the Ince AGI, the 20” pipeline heads approximately south crossing the Hapsford railway line (including a spur to an existing depot which serves the CF Fertiliser Plant). The route continues north of the M56 Chester Services (junction 14) before crossing the A5117 and heading in a south-westerly direction, south of Elton. The route continues west before heading in a north-westerly direction towards Thornton-le- Moors. The route crosses the B5132 Cryers Lane, before heading northwards to the Stanlow AGI.

the M56 before heading in a south-westerly direction crossing the River Gowy and
North Cheshire Way (long distance footpath). This section also has two offshoots for
temporary construction access routes. The route crosses Picton Lane before heading
south of Wervin and makes a sharp turn west before crossing the M53. From the
M53, the route runs broadly westwards through arable fields to the north of Chester,
crossing the Shropshire Union Canal where two options are under consideration.
