Event Summary

The HyNet project is undertaking significant construction work along the Flintshire coastline in the United Kingdom, involving the installation of new pipelines and repurposing existing ones for carbon capture and storage. Temporary steel structures, described as a 'pipeline welding highway,' have appeared on United Kingdom — Talacre Beach to facilitate the joining of underground conduit sections. This conduit will house an electric and fibre-optic cable to support the receipt and distribution of CO2 to offshore storage sites in Liverpool Bay. The existing natural gas pipeline at United Kingdom — Point of Ayr will be repurposed to transport CO2. The project also includes a 'Main Onshore Pipeline' between Stanlow and Flint, with spur pipelines connecting to industrial facilities like the Hanson Padeswood Cement Plant. The temporary structures on United Kingdom — Talacre Beach are expected to be removed by April, and all construction on the beach will be completed by August 2026, with no visible infrastructure remaining.
