The Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) in the United Kingdom has reached financial close for the nation's inaugural carbon capture and storage (CCS) endeavor. TotalEnergies, holding a 10% stake in NEP, will aid in storing approximately four million tonnes of CO₂ annually. The infrastructure is set to cater to three ventures in Teesside, including NZT Power, H2Teesside, and Teesside Hydrogen CO₂ Capture. TotalEnergies' senior vice-president expressed enthusiasm for participating in this crucial phase for the UK's CCS industry, highlighting NEP's pivotal role in transporting and permanently storing CO₂ from a major industrial zone. The inclusion of an onshore CO₂ network, compression facilities, and a 145km offshore pipeline is part of the project infrastructure. Additionally, a subsea injection connection to the Endurance saline aquifer will be established. The involvement of TechnipFMC and Saipem in supplying an all-electric subsea system further underscores the project's advancement. The UK's journey to lower carbon emissions and transition to cleaner energy sources is significantly advanced with the anticipated start of CO₂ storage by 2028, aligning with the country's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
