Costain to Deliver Landmark Carbon Capture and Power Project in Teesside
Key Ideas
- Costain to manage the engineering, procurement, and construction of NEP's onshore CO2 gathering system and utilities for NZT Power, with construction starting in 2025.
- NEP will provide CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure for Teesside's carbon capture projects, including H2Teesside and Teesside Hydrogen CO2 Capture.
- The project, with a combined value of £4 billion, aims to capture up to two million tonnes of CO2 per year and produce 742 megawatts of low-carbon power.
- The UK government's significant funding commitment supports the vision for CCUS, highlighting the importance of decarbonization and job creation in the region.
Costain is set to deliver and manage the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPCm) of the Northern Endurance Partnership’s (NEP) onshore CO2 gathering system on Teesside, and associated utilities for Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power). The project, reaching financial close, involves nine contractors selected to deliver the scheme, which aims to start construction in 2025 and become operational by 2028. NEP's infrastructure will support carbon capture projects in Teesside, including H2Teesside and Teesside Hydrogen CO2 Capture. Costain's role extends to delivering the front-end engineering design for the carbon capture network and the hydrogen network for the East Coast Cluster. The initiative targets capturing up to two million tonnes of CO2 per year and producing 742 megawatts of low-carbon power, significantly contributing to UK decarbonization. The project also aligns with the government's £21.7 billion funding commitment to promote CCUS development. The leaders from Costain and NZT Power emphasize the environmental benefits, job creation, and economic revitalization that the project will bring to the Teesside region.
