Metinvest Trametal has joined a landmark biodiversity project in the UK, delivering 1,000 tons of steel plates for the construction of an offshore platform in Liverpool Bay — an ambitious initiative aimed at preserving biodiversity while supporting sustainable industrial development.
Over the next two years, Trametal will supply an additional portion of steel to complete the works.
Implemented in cooperation with our valued client Rosetti Marino, which will construct the offshore CO₂ capture plant, the project aims to balance industrial progress with environmental protection. Liverpool Bay is home to extensive conservation programs, including the stabilisation of dunes, the reintroduction of rare species such as sand lizards and Welsh mountain ponies, and the restoration of salt marshes and coastal habitats. These activities are combined with sustainable land use and tourism development initiatives.
In addition, the project is closely connected to the HyNet North West industrial decarbonisation initiative, which will capture CO₂ from land-based industrial plants and store it permanently in depleted gas fields in the Irish Sea. The Liverpool Bay CO₂ Transport and Storage infrastructure, led by Eni UK (the British subsidiary of the Italian energy company Eni), will repurpose existing pipelines and depleted fields such as Hamilton, Hamilton North and Lennox to inject and store carbon dioxide safely. This will enable one of the UK’s most energy-intensive regions to become one of the world’s first low-emission industrial clusters.
“For us, participating in a project that stands for biodiversity preservation is especially meaningful. This is upfront reality of the future and an investment in a green future. We are proud that our company constantly involves and contribute to the low-carbon initiatives,” said Dimer Grilenzoni, Sector Sales Manager.
