Our current consultation
As the new-build CO2 pipeline exceeds 16km in length, it is classed as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP). This means that we need to apply for a special kind of planning consent known as ‘development consent’ which is granted in the form of a Development Consent Order (‘DCO’).
Since our first consultation on the CO₂ pipeline in the Summer of 2021, we’ve carried out detailed surveys and research to carefully narrow down our plans to one proposed route. We are now seeking your views on this final route before we submit our application to build the project. By having your say, you are helping us to deliver a project that will not only power our drive to net zero, but will also benefit the region for decades to come.
The carbon dioxide pipeline consultation is now closed.
