bp, along with its partners Equinor and TotalEnergies, has made a final investment decision for two carbon capture and storage projects in Teesside, UK, known as the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) and Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power). These projects are part of the East Coast Cluster (ECC) and are crucial for establishing a hydrogen network in the region. However, the H2Teesside blue hydrogen project, which will utilize NEP for CO2 storage, is still undergoing an examination phase before reaching financial close. The UK government has allocated significant funding to support these projects, highlighting the country's commitment to clean energy. The NEP and NZT Power ventures aim to create low-carbon power, store CO2, and contribute to job creation in Teesside and the North East. bp's choice of BASF's carbon capture technology for H2Teesside, with a high capture rate, emphasizes the focus on environmental sustainability. The partnership between the private and public sectors, as demonstrated by these projects, showcases the potential of collaborative efforts in advancing clean energy initiatives in the UK.
