After decades spent extracting fossil fuels from the UK\u2019s North Sea, a consortium of oil companies is preparing to pump Britain\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions back beneath the seabed to help meet the government\u2019s climate ambitions.<\/p>\n

BP<\/a>\u00a0has set out plans to lead an alliance of energy companies in siphoning off the carbon dioxide from factory flues under new plans in which almost half the UK\u2019s industrial emissions will be stored beneath the North Sea from 2026.<\/p>\n

The veteran North Sea oil extractor is leading a partnership including Italy\u2019s state oil company Eni, Norway\u2019s Equinor, National Grid, Royal Dutch Shell and French energy company Total in a plan to transport 17m tonnes of carbon dioxide every year from two separate carbon capture projects based in the Teesside and Humber industrial clusters on England\u2019s east coast.<\/p>\n

At Teesside, BP will work with the same oil companies, in a separate venture, to capture up to 10m tonnes of carbon dioxide a year from the industrial cluster \u2013 equivalent to the same emissions produced from the energy used by 3m UK homes \u2013 from the mid-2020s.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at the Humber a separate alliance including National Grid, Equinor and power generator Drax hopes to capture at least 17m tonnes of CO2<\/sub>\u00a0from hundreds of refineries and factories.<\/p>\n

The new alliance will operate the pipes and storage facility needed to transport the emissions from both industrial zones and dispose of almost 50% of the UK\u2019s industrial emissions in salt caverns beneath the North Sea seabed.<\/p>\n

Andy Lane, BP\u2019s head of carbon capture solutions, said the project represents a \u201csignificant milestone\u201d towards developing the offshore infrastructure needed to safely store carbon, and the oil industry\u2019s \u201cwillingness to come together and collaborate wherever possible\u201d to contribute to the UK\u2019s climate goals.<\/p>\n

Carbon capture and storage is considered vital to the UK\u2019s legally binding target to create a carbon neutral economy by 2050. It would also be\u00a0\u201cvirtually impossible\u201d for the world to meet its climate targets<\/a>\u00a0without it, according to the International Energy Agency.<\/p>\n

There are still only 20 projects in commercial use worldwide but the IEA believes that in the last three years plans for more than 30 commercial carbon capture facilities have come forward, representing a potential investment of about $27bn (\u00a320.7bn).<\/p>\n

The UK government has promised \u00a3800m to decarbonise at least two\u00a0heavy-industry \u201ccarbon clusters\u201d<\/a>, the first in 2025 and the second by 2030, falling short of calls from MPs and the government\u2019s official independent climate advisers at the committee on climate change to roll out multiple carbon capture projects within the next five years.<\/p>\n

The Northern Endurance Alliance has applied for funding from the government\u2019s \u00a3170m industrial decarbonisation challenge which was set up this time last year. The support is part of the government\u2019s \u00a34.7bn industrial strategy challenge fund which was set up by the government to address the biggest barriers to the UK\u2019s future productivity and earning power.<\/p>\n
