Project information
About the project
Type of application: Other Pipe-lines
Name of applicant: National Grid Carbon (NGC)
Construction of carbon dioxide (to facilitate CCUS) and hydrogen (H2) transportation pipelines between Drax in North Yorkshire and Easington in East Riding of Yorkshire, connecting various emitters and generators in the Humber. The application will include associated infrastructure comprising pipeline internal gauge (PIG) traps, a multi-junction, block valves, a compressor station and associated works. Other projects in the region linked to this project include: Hydrogen Production at Saltend (Equinor); Carbon Capture (Drax); Blue & Green Hydrogen Hub (Killingholme (Uniper)); Keadby Clean Power Hub (SSE Thermal); and ZCH Enabling Paths to Sustainable Steel Making (British Steel). There is also the Zero Humber project (VPI Immingham and P66) and the Gigastack Green H2 project (Orsted and ITM Power) in the Humber. Both of these are separate to the ZCH consortium at present however the NGC pipeline affords the opportunity for them to ultimately connect to the pipeline system.
