Origins and Eni Push CCS Hubs Into Construction
CCS hubs are moving from paper to construction, with Origins and Eni showing how transport-and-storage infrastructure is becoming the next phase of market maturity.
Updated
What is this trend?
Origins and Eni are moving carbon capture and storage hubs from secured capacity into physical construction, signaling that CCS is shifting from project announcements to infrastructure execution.
- Origins CCS Hub has locked 1.5 Mtpa and is set to start construction in 2026.
- Eni’s Douglas platform is installed offshore as the hub for Liverpool Bay CCS.
- Execution now matters more than FID as engineering, permits, and connectivity become the bottlenecks.
- Reusable pipelines and oil-and-gas assets are becoming key advantages in CCS.
- Integrated transport-and-storage capacity is emerging as the new competitive moat.
What’s the latest?
Origins CCS Hub has moved from secured capacity to physical execution: it has confirmed 1.5 million tonnes per year of initial storage, with construction set for September 2026 and operations targeted for January 2027.
How it developed
- Storage access moat, carbon-rule durability, and offshore CCS move into core design
- Storage Access Becomes the CCS Competitive Moat
