Plans are being mooted for an £830 million project off the UK coast that claims to be able to boost the UK’s depleted gas storage capacity by up to 50 percent, it has been revealed.

British-Irish energy firm dCarbonX, which is backed by Europe’s largest gas infrastructure operator Snam, is proposing to redevelop the former Bains gas site, which is near Barrow-in-Furness and around 30 kilometres off the coast of north-west England in Morecambe Bay.
