Carbon Capture and Storage: Tees Valley
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many projects in the Teesside carbon capture and storage cluster are (a) existing projects being retrofitted and (b) new developments.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Teesside Carbon Capture and storage cluster includes the projects mentioned below:
NEP (Transport and Storage Network) - New network with Northern Endurance Partnership
Net Zero Teesside (NZT) - New dispatchable gas-fired power station with carbon capture technology
H2 Teesside - New build CCUS-enabled hydrogen production plant
BOC - Existing industrial plant owned by BOC looking to add CCUS technology
The NEP and NZT are included in the current funding envelope related to the funding announcement made in October 2024.
H2 Teesside and BOC are currently a part of the Project Negotiation List (PNL). Following a period of assessment and due diligence, the Track 1 PNL was determined and published in March 2023. Projects that were most likely to be delivered within our required timeframes and budget and storage capacity were selected.
