United Kingdom – Viking CCS, the Humber-based CO2 transportation and storage network, has forged an exclusive commercial relationship with Cory Group, a prominent UK recycling and waste management company.
The collaboration aims to tackle CO2 emissions from Cory’s energy-from-waste (EfW) facilities, marking a significant milestone in the carbon capture, transportation, and storage industry.
With an annual diversion of approximately 790,000 tonnes of residual waste from landfill, Cory is steadfast in its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions. The partnership with Viking CCS propels Cory’s carbon capture ambitions forward, with plans to implement carbon capture technology at its upcoming Riverside 2 facility. The technology aims to capture around 1.3 million tonnes of CO2 annually by 2030.
Depleted gas fields storage
The collaboration envisions a comprehensive solution involving the shipping of captured CO2 emissions. Cory’s expertise in maritime operations aligns with the UK Government’s focus on non-pipeline transportation solutions for Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) clusters. The captured CO2 is slated to be transported to the Port of Immingham via a new CO2 import terminal and subsequently stored within the Viking depleted gas fields in the southern North Sea. This innovative approach reflects a departure from conventional methods, demonstrating a commitment to exploring new avenues for sustainable carbon management.
