Two industrial projects in Teesside will see approximately 4mn t/y of CO2 collected from local emitters and safely transported for storage offshore via a new overground pipeline designed by Costain, reports Project Manager Niku Nobakhti.

The UK has clear commitments to achieve net zero and energy transition. Accomplishing these goals is only possible with a systematic approach. This has led to plans for several industrial clusters across the UK aimed at reducing carbon emissions and switching to low-carbon energy sources.

 

One of these clusters is the East Coast Cluster (ECC) which spans industries across the Teesside and Humber areas. This is one of the UK’s most densely industrial sites, emitting more carbon than any other cluster. It also has a rich heritage of adopting pioneering industries and technologies, which makes it ideal for implementation of one of the first UK carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) projects.

 

Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power), a joint venture between BP and Equinor, will be the world’s first commercial scale gas-fired power station equipped with carbon capture. The power station will integrate with the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP), a separate joint venture between BP, Equinor and TotalEnergies, which will be the CO2 transportation and storage provider for the ECC.
