The company will transform a traditional gas compression and treatment facility at Point of Ayr in North Wales into a CO2 electrical compression station. The facility will enable the permanent storage of CO2 in offshore depleted fields beneath Liverpool Bay.

Saipem’s responsibilities include the engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning assistance for the new CO2 electrical compression station. The facility will be integrated with both the offshore and onshore components of the overall development.

The company says that the project is expected to create positive employment opportunities, engaging over 1,000 local workers during the construction phase, and will help reduce emissions from industries in Northwest England and North Wales.
