CO2 emissions will be stored under the North Sea

CO ₂ emissions will be stored at gas fields that have been mined in the North Sea.

Energy Group National Grid (UK) is planning to build a system to transport and store CO ₂ emissions at old gas fields that have been mined in the North Sea.

The CO ₂ storage project is called "National Grid Carbon" with an investment of up to £ 2 billion.

According to Chris Train's "National Grid Carbon" director, the project will be deployed in Yorkshire province, around the mouth of the Humber River, home to five of Britain's largest coal and gas-fired power plants. These power plants will be installed with CO2 storage devices (CCS), then transferred to the National Grid pipeline system and pumped into the mined gas fields under the North Sea, where they are struck. The price is very suitable for long-term CO2 storage.

It is estimated that about 60 million tons of CO2 per year are emitted from power plants and other industrial facilities around the mouth of the Humber River - making this region the largest CO ₂ emissions in Europe.

Mr. Train thinks that keeping all this CO ₂ emissions will be equivalent to not circulating 20 million cars on the road.

Under the plan, this project will be put into operation within the next 3 years, contributing significantly to help the UK meet the 20% CO2 emission reduction obligations by 2020, as well as the industry construction plan. The energy industry in this country is becoming more and more competitive.
