- RWE and Dragon collaborate on the Milford Haven CO₂ Project, which integrates carbon capture, and establishment of a combined CO₂ and LNG terminal
- CO2 shipping via non-pipeline transport (NPT) will help facilitate industrial decarbonisation, while helping safeguard jobs and boosting the economy.
- The UK’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and UKRI has committed funding for feasibility studies to explore the potential construction of the Milford Haven CO₂ Project scheme.
Celtic Freeport partners – RWE and Dragon LNG – have unveiled the Milford Haven CO₂ Project, aiming to decarbonise South Wales industries.
This initiative will integrate carbon capture, liquefaction, temporary storage and shipping of CO₂ from the Dragon site via non-pipeline transport.
By connecting facilities on both sides of the Milford Haven Waterway, the project seeks to support the UK’s net zero target by 2050 and aligns with the South Wales Industrial Cluster Deployment Project.
RWE plans to implement carbon capture technology at Pembroke Power Station, potentially providing 2.2 GW of decarbonised energy – enough for approximately 4.3 million homes – and capturing up to 5 million tonnes of CO₂ annually.
Dragon LNG intends to combine LNG regasification with CO₂ liquefaction at its Waterston terminal, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing carbon intensity.
This collaboration not only aims to reduce industrial emissions but also to safeguard jobs and stimulate economic growth in the region.
Luciana Ciubotariu, CEO of the Celtic Freeport, commented: “Celtic Freeport welcomes the Milford Haven CO₂ Project as a vital step towards decarbonising the region, with critical infrastructure to support CO₂ shipping and drive the hydrogen economy. Backed by the UK Government and UKRI funding, this initiative will help establish new industries, unlock export opportunities and strengthen Milford Haven’s net zero future.”
