About Carbon Capture & Storage

CCS takes carbon dioxide produced from burning fossil fuels, or as a by-product of industrial manufacturing processes behind products such as cement and steel. Pipelines or ships then transport the compressed carbon dioxide for storage within deep underground rock formations like saline aquifers or depleted oil and gas reservoirs.  

The CCS process prevents carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere and contributing to climate change.

The same forces that hold oil and gas within the Earth’s crust for millions of years can trap the captured carbon permanently, or other industries can make use of it, for example in the production of synthetic hydrocarbon fuels.

This is a fantastic opportunity to leverage Perenco UK’s deep experience of gas operations by developing a project that will help to support the UK’s energy transition, generate highly skilled jobs locally and nationally, and actively facilitate the government’s net zero targets. We look forward to working with all stakeholders to deliver this strategic project.
