HyNet North West

HyNet North West project aspires to decarbonise the North West Cluster. The project aims to develop the infrastructure for the production, distribution and storage of low carbon hydrogen along with the infrastructure for the capture, transport and permanent storage of the CO2 emissions coming from the industry. The captured CO2 will be stored at the depleted Hamilton gas field in Liverpool Bay.
