World Pipelines launches UK-focused CCS Forum to tackle UK CO2 transport build-out

World Pipelines,
World Pipelines will host the inaugural CCS Forum on 18 March 2026 in London, bringing together key stakeholders from across the UK carbon capture and storage value chain to focus on one critical element of deployment: CO2 pipeline infrastructure.
While much of the public conversation around CCS has centred on policy ambition and industrial capture, the World Pipelines CCS Forum will turn attention to the engineering realities of transporting CO2 by pipeline.
As the UK’s Track 1 clusters move from financial close towards construction, decisions around pipeline design, materials selection, routing, integrity, and future network expansion are becoming increasingly urgent.
The one-day event will convene operators, engineers, service companies, decision-makers and industrial emitters to examine how today’s infrastructure choices will shape the long-term viability of a national CO2 network.
The programme will feature contributions from organisations active across the UK CCS landscape, including cluster developers, transmission system operators, engineering contractors, and industrial stakeholders. Speakers include: National Gas, United Infrastructure, CCSA, SGN, DNV, Peak Cluster, Wood, Peritus International, Penspen, Holcim, and more.
The programme is built around the engineering, regulatory, commercial and integrity challenges facing those designing, constructing and operating CO2 transport networks within the UK’s cluster model.
CCS Forum delegates will also benefit from a mid-morning session – co-located with World Cement’s EnviroTech 2026 – on Peak Cluster, the world’s largest cement decarbonisation project. We believe that the convergence of cement and pipeline experts in one room for this session will offer a unique opportunity for cross-sector collaboration.
By focusing specifically on transport infrastructure, the CCS Forum aims to create a platform for practical discussion at a time when the UK is transitioning from feasibility studies to execution. With first-of-a-kind projects under pressure to be both technically robust and economically bankable, the need for shared learning across projects has never been greater.
As momentum builds behind UK CCS deployment, the CCS Forum will provide a space for industry to address a central question: how do we design today’s clusters in a way that enables a resilient CO2 network for tomorrow?
Join us at the World Pipelines CCS Forum in London on 18 March 2026 for a one day conference on the buildout of UK CCS pipelines. Find out more here.
