Construction is set to begin on the world’s first gas-fired power station equipped with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, located in Teesside, England.
The Net Zero Teesside Power project, led by engineering firm Technip Energies in partnership with GE Vernova and Balfour Beatty, aims to capture up to two million tonnes of CO2 every year. The carbon will be safely stored as part of efforts to help the UK achieve its target of Net Zero emissions by 2050.
The plant will generate enough low-carbon electricity to power over one million homes annually, while creating more than 3,000 construction jobs and supporting 1,000 jobs during its operation.
“This transformational project underpins the UK’s transition to cleaner energy and will drive economic growth in the Northeast,” said Leo Quinn, CEO of construction partner Balfour Beatty.
