Name of the Project
Net Zero Teesside project.

Location
Teesside, in north-east England, in the UK

Project Owner/s
The project is a partnership between bp (operator), Eni, Equinor, Shell and Total.

Project Description
The Net Zero Teesside project will use carbon capture utilisation and storage technology to decarbonise local industry.

This includes building a transportation and storage system to gather industrial carbon dioxide, compress it and store it safely in a reservoir under the North Sea. It is hoped that the transportation and storage infrastructure will encourage new investment in the region from industries that wish to store or use carbon dioxide.

A combined-cycle gas turbine facility with carbon capture technology will provide low carbon power to complement renewable-energy sources and underpin the investment in the infrastructure. 

The project aims to capture up to ten-million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year – equivalent to the yearly energy use of up to two-million homes in the UK.

Potential Job Creation
The project will directly support up to 5 500 jobs.

Capital Expenditure

Planned Start/End Date
