About from company website
dCarbonX is a GeoEnergy organisation focused on developing secure, large-scale underground hydrogen and gas storage solutions for the energy transition and UK energy security. Backed by global expertise, the company is transforming proven gas fields into critical low-carbon infrastructure. Operating in both the United Kingdom and Ireland, dCarbonX is supported by Snam, a leading European operator in gas infrastructure.
The company focuses on development opportunities for underground storage of natural gas and hydrogen, and carbon sequestration. Gas remains the backbone of the wider UK and Irish energy systems, playing a critical part in energy security and meeting demand for economic growth, domestic heating, industry and transport. However, domestic UK gas production is in terminal decline, imports are strained, and LNG is both volatile and expensive, posing a real threat due to minimal existing storage capacity.
dCarbonX addresses this by developing new storage facilities. 4 billion cubic metres of natural gas. This project aims to increase the UK's gas storage capacity by around 50%.
Additionally, dCarbonX holds licence P2681, covering the Bains East fault block, which could provide cushion gas and future expansion opportunities. In Ireland, through its Kestrel Project, dCarbonX is working with joint venture partners ESB and Bord Gáis Energy to redevelop decommissioned gas reservoirs in the offshore Kinsale Head field area for national-scale energy storage.
