VPI Inningham Power CCS

The VPI Immingham project at the Immingham power station in North Lincolnshire, England is a major post-combustion carbon capture and storage (CCS) development designed to capture CO₂ emissions from a large gas-fired power plant and permanently store it offshore. The capture system will use Shell’s CANSOLV CO₂ capture technology, a commercial solvent-based process adapted for large scale power plant flue gas conditions, to strip CO₂ after combustion and deliver a high-purity CO₂ stream for transport. The project includes integration with the Viking CCS offshore storage hub, a planned regional CO₂ transport and storage network in the North Sea designed to receive captured carbon from multiple industrial emitters along the east coast of the UK. Viking CCS will provide subsea pipeline infrastructure and deep saline storage sites, enabling long-term sequestration of CO₂ captured at Immingham and other connected facilities. Worley has been appointed as the engineering contractor to lead detailed engineering, procurement, and front-end design (FEED) for the capture plant, advancing the system toward a final investment decision.
