Happy New Year from the Liverpool Bay Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Transportation and Storage (T&S) Project team. This year we will continue our community engagement efforts, keeping you up to date with the construction of the Main Onshore Pipeline (the Pipeline) and the changes taking place in and around the Point of Ayr (PoA) Terminal. These efforts include bi-monthly project newsletters, monthly community information events and regular latest news updates.
Our monthly community information event programme for the Pipeline resumes this month, alternating between venues in Cheshire and Flintshire. The first event of the year will be held at the Five Villages Hall, Backford, CH1 6NT between 4pm to 7pm on Tuesday 20 January 2026.
February's community information event for the Pipeline sees us return to Flintshire and will be held at the Sandycroft Community Centre, Deeside, CH5 2PD between 4pm to 7pm on Tuesday 17 February 2026.
March's community information event for the Pipeline will be back in Cheshire at the Vernon Institute, Saughall, CH1 6EN between 4pm to 7pm on Tuesday 24 March 2026.
Liverpool Bay CCS Limited (LBCCS) and our construction contractor, United Infrastructure (UI), look forward to seeing you at one of these events and answering questions you may have regarding the construction of the Pipeline.
As part of the engagement efforts for the current and upcoming works that are preparing the PoA Terminal to transport and store CO2, LBCCS is holding a drop-in community information event on Tuesday 27 January 2026 between 4pm to 7pm at the Talacre Community Centre, Gamfa Wen, CH8 9RT.
This event aims to give stakeholders and the local community the opportunity to speak directly with representatives from LBCCS, and their main appointed contractors, Boskalis and Saipem, and ask any questions regarding the PoA developments.
Microtunnelling is a trenchless tunnelling technique that buries the Pipeline deep beneath the surface, helping to ensure minimal disruption to key infrastructure. As a result, these operations require 24-hour a day working to ensure the safety of the tunnel and construction team while keeping the M56 undisturbed.
These works are being carried out by our Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC), UI and tunnelling specialist subcontractor, Joseph Gallagher Limited (JGL).
These works mark an important step towards the delivery of the Pipeline, ensuring construction can safely proceed beneath the environmentally and historically significant waterway.
More information about the microtunnelling works beneath the Shropshire Union Canal will be shared onto the HyNet Hub live news section soon.
