Announced

Sullom Voe terminal and Shetland basin hub is Veri Energy (EnQuest)'s carbon capture and storage project at Sullom Voe, Shetland, United Kingdom.

Why it matters

Nothing has been committed to it yet.

Where Sullom Voe terminal and Shetland basin hub is

Sullom Voe terminal and Shetland basin hub is at Sullom Voe, Shetland, United Kingdom, and this register holds no position for it. The company has confirmed the site and no citable source places the works: it is being built where nobody has yet drawn it. The row is held anyway — position is not a condition of being on file — and what was searched, and what was found instead, is below.

NO POSITION SOUGHT BY THIS PASS. Brief 8 forbids geocoding in a census — a municipality is not a point — and the source that admits this row names Sullom Voe, Shetland and not a position. Transport and storage is the sector where that bites hardest: a pipeline is a route rather than a place, and a store is a reservoir whose position its operator rarely publishes. The row is admitted without one, on the rule that position is not an admission leg.

Technology and measures

  • CO2 transport and storageearly-commercialThe pipelines, ships, terminals and permitted geological stores that a captured tonne has to reach before it counts as abated, and which no single site that captures can build for itself.

Funding

No public capital recorded for this project.
