Liverpool Bay WP3 is part of the Liverpool Bay CCS project, developed by Eni in the United Kingdom to transport and permanently store CO₂ from the HyNet industrial cluster, which spans North West England and North Wales. The project aims to capture CO₂ emissions from hard-to-abate industries and permanently store them in depleted offshore gas fields beneath Liverpool Bay.
Located onshore Libya, the Abu Attifel and NC 125 fields are active in conventional oil production. Their peak production occurred in 1994, having already recovered 92.14% of their total recoverable reserves. Economic projections indicate that oil extraction will continue until these fields reach their economic limit by 2046. Presently, these fields contribute approximately 5% to Libya’s daily oil output.
The project consists of two plants: one for producing linear polyethylene (PEL) and another for producing polypropylene (PP), each with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons.
Both plants utilize cutting-edge technologies that ensure top energy efficiency. These technologies are leading in the market and are the first of their kind to be implemented on the Iberian Peninsula.
