Notice is hereby given that Liverpool Bay CCS Limited, Eni House, 10 Ebury Bridge Road, London, SW1W 8PZ has furnished Natural Resources Wales (“NRW”) with further information in relation to the above application pursuant to regulation 14 of the Marine Works (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2007 (‘the EIA Regulations’).

Liverpool Bay CCS Limited has applied to NRW for a marine licence under Part 4 of the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 to Hynet Carbon Dioxide Transportation and Storage Project. The Proposed Development will repurpose the existing Eni offshore assets in Liverpool Bay, which will include the natural gas import pipeline from the Douglas platform to Point of Ayr (PoA) Gas Terminal to become an export pipeline to transport CO2 to a newly constructed Douglas CCS platform. From the new Douglas CCS platform, CO2 will be transported along the re-purposed natural gas pipelines to the Hamilton Main platform for injection into the Hamilton Main reservoir, to the Hamilton North platform for injection into the Hamilton North reservoir, and to the Lennox platform for injection into the Lennox reservoir. The Proposed Development will also require new electrical and fibre optic transmission infrastructure seawards of Mean High Water Spring (MHWS), connecting the PoA Terminal to the offshore infrastructure. The project requires EIA consent and is subject to the requirement for an environmental impact assessment (‘EIA’) under the EIA Regulations. An environmental statement has been prepared by the applicant.
