The Humber Carbon Capture Pipeline is a proposed underground, onshore pipeline with above ground installations that aims to transport carbon dioxide produced by industrial projects in the Humber region to secure offshore storage under the North Sea.

The proposed Humber Carbon Capture Pipeline is an important part of the Northern Endurance Partnership’s end-to-end carbon dioxide transportation and storage infrastructure network, which enables the East Coast Cluster.

The East Coast Cluster, which serves the industrial powerhouse regions of Teesside and the Humber, has been selected as one of the first two carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS) clusters to be taken forward by the UK Government. It includes a diverse mix of projects, including industrial carbon capture, low-carbon hydrogen production, negative emissions power, and power with carbon capture. These technologies are essential for the UK to meet its net zero targets; both regions would also benefit from an influx of green jobs, skills development and supply chain benefits.

Net Zero North Sea Storage Limited is progressing the Humber Carbon Capture Pipeline, a proposed onshore infrastructure project that would transport carbon dioxide from carbon capture projects in the Humber region to secure offshore storage under the North Sea.

This infrastructure is crucial to achieving net zero in the Humber – the UK’s most carbon intensive industrial region.

Consultation

We held an initial public consultation on our proposals in summer 2024. The project team is now reviewing the feedback received at this initial consultation and will consider this in the development of the scheme. There will then be another round of consultation before we apply for development consent. At this point any updates to the design, as well as preliminary results of environmental surveys and assessments, will be shared.

You can sign up to be notified of the next round of consultation by emailing us at info@nephccp.co.uk or by registering for updates here.

Location

The pipeline would be built between Drax in North Yorkshire and the coast north of Easington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, via North Lincolnshire. The proposed pipeline corridor we are considering is outlined below.
