Eni, an Italian energy firm, has partnered with ABB, a Swiss-based company, to work on the HyNet North West carbon capture and storage project in the UK. ABB will provide its Ability System 800xA for automation, telecom, and cybersecurity layers. The project's goal is to capture carbon dioxide emissions from industrial clusters in the UK, transport them, and store them in depleted gas fields in the Irish Sea near Liverpool. Eni's CEO, Claudio Descalzi, highlighted the importance of this project in accelerating the energy transition. The HyNet initiative aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 10 million tons annually by 2030, contributing significantly to decarbonization efforts. The UK government's substantial funding for industrial cluster projects will not only reduce carbon emissions but also boost the country's competitiveness in the global CCS market and create employment opportunities. The project consortium, which includes companies like EET and Cadent, is also focusing on developing carbon-free hydrogen production and a pipeline to supply hydrogen to industries in the region, showcasing a comprehensive approach to industrial decarbonization and energy transition.
