Landmark Project: Net Zero Teesside Power to Pioneer Gas-Fired Plant with Carbon Capture and Storage
Key Ideas
  • Technip Energies and GE Vernova, alongside Balfour Beatty and Shell, awarded a significant contract for the pioneering Net Zero Teesside Power project in the UK.
  • The project involves building the world's first gas-fired power station with carbon capture and storage, aiming to capture up to 2 million tonnes of CO2 annually.
  • Supported by the UK government, the initiative is expected to create over 3,000 construction jobs and 1,000 operational jobs annually, contributing to the country's climate goals and attracting private investment.
  • Key players like Technip Energies, GE Vernova, Balfour Beatty, and Shell are leveraging their expertise to deliver a highly efficient combined cycle plant with an advanced carbon capture system.
The Net Zero Teesside Power project, based in the United Kingdom, has been awarded a major contract to lead the construction of the world's first gas-fired power station with carbon capture and storage. This groundbreaking initiative aims to capture and store up to 2 million tonnes of CO2 annually, playing a significant role in the country's transition to cleaner energy sources. Financially supported by a recent £21.7 billion pledge from the UK government for carbon emission projects, the project is a crucial step towards achieving the nation's net zero emissions target by 2050. The collaboration between Technip Energies, GE Vernova, Balfour Beatty, and Shell is set to create a plant capable of producing 742 megawatts of low-carbon power, equivalent to powering over 1 million UK homes annually. The project is expected to not only facilitate job creation during its construction and operational phases but also attract private investment to further bolster the UK's climate efforts. Key technologies being utilized include Technip Energies' Canopy by T.ENTM solution for carbon capture, powered by Shell's CANSOLV CO2 Capture System, and GE Vernova's advanced gas turbine technology. This integrated approach aims to set a new standard for low-carbon power generation, highlighting the importance of collaboration in driving sustainable energy solutions. With the support of the UK government and a focus on innovation and sustainability, the Net Zero Teesside Power project represents a significant milestone in advancing carbon capture technology at scale.
