CO2 Capture and Methanation Feasibility Study

CO₂ utilisation in the UK remains technically and commercially uncertain. Dispersed emitters and biogenic sources are largely excluded from industrial CCUS clusters, leaving a gap in scalable, cost-effective carbon management solutions. This project will conduct a Desktop feasibility study covering SGN’s operational regions and local emitters within ~30 mile radius of candidate biomethane sites.

1. Stakeholder and vendor engagement with technology providers
2. Technical and economic modelling of capture and utilisation systems, including mass and energy balances, CAPEX/OPEX estimates, and sensitivity analysis on CO₂ and hydrogen pricing.
3. Local market assessment to identify potential CO₂ emitters and offtakes within 30 miles of candidate biomethane or EfW sites.
