Consultation launched on carbon capture pipeline to drive Humber decarbonisation and economic growth

Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) has launched a statutory consultation for the Humber Carbon Capture Pipeline (HCCP), a proposed underground onshore pipeline with Above Ground Installations (AGIs) and a Pump Facility.

The pipeline would transport CO₂ captured by carbon capture projects across the Humber to permanent secure storage under the North Sea.

As the UK’s highest carbon-producing region, HCCP will help sustain the Humber’s industrial legacy while cutting emissions, supporting jobs, and driving economic growth.

Consultation will run to 17 December 2025, with 13 public drop-in events and two online sessions. Maps of the proposed pipeline route, AGI and Pump Facility locations, along with details of how the project team is working to manage construction considerately, will be available at events, online, and at information points along the route. Feedback can be submitted any time before 23:59 on 17 December 2025.

Rich Denny, managing director, Northern Endurance Partnership, said: “The HCCP has the potential to be a game-changer for businesses across the Humber, driving economic growth while decarbonising operations. This consultation is a chance for people to have their say and help shape a project that builds on the region’s proud industrial legacy.”

Feedback from an initial consultation in summer 2024 has been incorporated into the proposals published. Further input from this consultation will help refine the project before a Development Consent Order (DCO) is submitted to the Secretary of State. Due to its scale, HCCP is classed as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) under the Planning Act 2008, which means it will follow a national planning process rather than a standard local one.
