The HyNet is an innovative, integrated low carbon hydrogen production, distribution and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) project. It provides hydrogen distribution and CCUS infrastructure across Liverpool, Manchester and parts of Cheshire in support of the Government’s Clean Growth Strategy (CGS) and achievement of the UK’s emissions reduction targets. Cadent is developing the project together with Progressive Energy. Cadent owns and operates the gas distribution network in the area, whilst Progressive Energy is an experienced clean energy project development company. ENI is the owner and operator of the Liverpool Bay oil and gas fields in which CO2 will be stored, whilst other major local asset owners are also involved in project development.[1]
Two large hubs are foreseen in Britain. In the northwest, a large project called HyNet North West seeks to establish a low-carbon cluster by 2030 and a net-zero carbon industrial cluster by 2040.

Partners[edit]
HyNet North West is being delivered by a consortium of partners, each of which will lead to a different part of the project. Progressive Energy is leading the development of the low carbon hydrogen production plant and the CO2 pipeline and Cadent is leading the development of the hydrogen pipeline.[3]
Events[edit]
In August 2020, HyNet announced that it is set to distribute hydrogen via a pipeline to industrial users including glassmaker Pilkington and one of Unilever’s production sites in England.[4]
