Harbour Energy Takes a Step Closer to Making Major UK CCS Project a Reality

Located along the North Sea, the Humber is expected to play a central role in the UK’s effort to achieve a net-zero emissions status by 2050.

Harbour will operate the Viking CCS project, which is expected to require an investment of more than £13 billion ($17.3 billion). Current plans call for the transportation and storage of up to 50% of the CO2 emissions produced in the Humber region, the UK's largest industrial cluster and highest-emitting region. Some captured emissions may be transported to the project by ship.

Captured onshore, the emissions are to be transported to an offshore facility and injected to a depth of about 9,000 ft into a depleted gas reservoir beneath a salt layer between 600 and 1,000 ft thick.
