Decarbonizing Humberside
Harbour Energy and bp to develop the Viking CCS project
What is Viking CCS?
Viking CCS is a carbon capture and storage project in the Southern North Sea that bp is developing alongside its operator Harbour Energy. It will bring together a wide range of emissions capture and infrastructure partners and aim for a reduction of 10 million tonnes of UK emissions per annum by 2030 and up to 15 million tonnes by 2035.
Why is it important?
The project can play a key role in decarbonising the UK and providing CO2 transport and storage as a service to emitters across industry sectors and geographies. That ability to serve different geographies is underpinned by its potential to become a first-of-its-kind CO2 shipping destination - to which businesses from both the UK and EU can ship carbon before it is stored offshore - in the UK.
