Solent CO2 pipeline plan axed by ExxonMobil

Over past weeks we have reported on the consultations and concerns raised by local residents along the path of the proposed Solent CO2 pipeline, which would have included coming through parts of Milford on Sea.

The protesters were delighted to hear on the 3rd October 2024, that the plan had been axed by ExxonMobil

BBC News reported: ExxonMobil had been seeking approval for the Solent CO2 Pipeline Project, external, which would have run from its Fawley oil refinery near Southampton to a CO2 storage site under the English Channel.

Protesters had been campaigning against the plans and now ExxonMobil has decided not to move forward with them.

A spokesperson for the company said the decision was a result of the "continued lack of government policy certainty".
