HyNet Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS)

英国已经通过立法，到2050年实现净零排放。在电力部门的脱碳方面已经并将继续取得重大进展。然而，在工业、供热和重型运输等“难以触及”的经济部门的脱碳方面，进展甚微。HyNet于2016年被设想为氢/ CCUS项目，旨在为西北地区提供脱碳途径。最初的重点是工业脱碳，同时建设向全面区域氢经济过渡的基础设施。英国西北部拥有英国最大、最成熟的产业集群之一。这个产业集群位于一个地理区域，包括东北威尔士、柴郡、沃灵顿、利物浦城市地区和大曼彻斯特的部分地区，每年产生约600万吨二氧化碳排放。这个地区是大约400万人的家园。根据产业集群使命，将整个产业集群脱碳至净零水平，为将其定位为世界领先的清洁制造中心提供了机会，这将吸引新的客户和投资。HyNet项目集中在埃尔斯米尔港和伦康之间的默西河南岸的工业园区。大量低碳氢气生产设施将在斯坦洛炼油厂（HyNet氢气供应项目）现场建造，为工业燃料转换、混入当地天然气分销网络、运输应用和灵活发电提供氢气。HyNet CCUS网络将提供基础设施来运输和储存氢气生产过程中产生的副产品二氧化碳。许多英国最大的点源工业排放者都位于该集群中，包括斯坦洛炼油厂本身，并将成为CCUS运输和存储网络的“锚定”客户。CCUS网络将主要利用现有的油气资产将二氧化碳输送到利物浦湾油田，并将其封存在枯竭的气藏中。HyNet是英国成本最低、风险最低、交付率最高的CCUS项目之一。HyNet已经开发了3年多，现在准备进入工程FEED计划，并允许活动达成最终投资决策。该项目将承担FEED阶段的规划和成本计算活动。

The UK has passed legislation to deliver Net Zero emissions by 2050. Significant progress has been, and continues to be made, in the decarbonisation of the power sector. However, very little progress has been made in the decarbonisation of the 'hard to reach' sectors of the economy such as industry, heat and heavy transport.HyNet was conceived in 2016 as a hydrogen / CCUS project to provide a decarbonisation pathway in the North West. The initial focus is on industrial decarbonisation, at the same time as building the infrastructure for the transition to a full regional hydrogen economy.The North West of the UK houses one of the largest and most mature industrial clusters in the UK. This industrial cluster is in a geographic area which includes parts of North East Wales, Cheshire, Warrington, Liverpool City Region and Greater Manchester, and generates approximately 6 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per year. This area is home to approximately 4 million people.Decarbonisation of this entire industrial cluster to net-zero levels, in line with the Industrial Clusters Mission, offers the chance to position it as a world leading clean manufacturing hub which will attract new customers and investment.The HyNet project is centred on the industrial complex on the south bank of the Mersey between Ellesmere Port and Runcorn. Bulk low carbon hydrogen production facilities will be constructed onsite at Stanlow Refinery (the HyNet Hydrogen Supply Project), providing hydrogen for industrial fuel switching, blending into the local gas distribution network, transport applications and flexible power generation. The HyNet CCUS network will provide the infrastructure to transport and store the carbon dioxide produced as a by-product of the hydrogen production process.A number of the UK's largest point source industrial emitters are located in this cluster, including Stanlow Refinery itself and will form 'anchor' customers for the CCUS transport and storage network. The CCUS network will principally use existing oil and gas assets to transport the CO2 to the Liverpool Bay fields and sequester it in depleted gas reservoirs. HyNet is one of the lowest cost, lowest risk, most deliverable CCUS projects in the UK.HyNet has been in development for over 3 years, and is now ready to enter a FEED programme of engineering and permitting activities to reach a Final Investment Decision. This project will undertake the FEED phase planning and costing activity.
