HCCP - Humber Carbon Capture Pipeline
As of 8th July 2024, The Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) has today launched a public consultation on the Humber Carbon Capture Pipeline (HCCP), a proposed onshore infrastructure project that would transport carbon dioxide, captured from carbon capture projects in the Humber region, to secure offshore storage under the North Sea.
The HCCP is an important part of the Northern Endurance Partnership’s (NEP) end-to-end carbon dioxide transportation and storage infrastructure network serving Teesside and the Humber. The East Coast Cluster (ECC)is one of the first two carbon capture, usage and storage clusters to be taken forward by the UK government to deliver ambitious projects, essential to help the UK meet its net zero targets.
By enabling the decarbonisation of a wide range of existing and proposed carbon capture projects, the HCCP and the ECC stand ready to help achieve net zero in the Humber – the UK’s most carbon intensive industrial region – protect thousands of jobs and establish the region as a globally-competitive lower carbon hub for industry and innovation.
The HCCP is a proposed onshore pipeline which would run between Drax in North Yorkshire and Easington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, via North Lincolnshire.

Winteringham will be affected as there will be some extensive work taking place along Mere Road where the pipeline route is being proposed.
