Liquid CO₂ could be moved by rail
Bechtel studies UK CCS rail plan
Project to take emissions from waste-to-energy plant could pave way for creation of country’s first CCS rail corridor
Engineering company Bechtel is studying the feasibility of transporting liquid CO₂ on one of the UK’s main rail routes in a project that could lead to the development of a CCS rail corridor for industrial emitters in northern England. Under plans set out this week, emissions captured at Enfinium’s Ferrybridge waste-to-energy plant in West Yorkshire would be liquefied and taken by rail on the East Coast Mainline to a terminal further north at Teesside operated by bulk liquid storage provider Navigator.
