Equinor and SSE Thermal have today unveiled plans to jointly develop two first-of-a-kind, low-carbon power stations in the UK’s Humber region, comprising one of the UK’s first power stations with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, and the world’s first 100% hydrogen-fuelled power station.
The plans, underpinned by a new cooperation agreement between the two companies, would support the UK’s transition to net zero and accelerate the decarbonisation of the Humber, the UK’s largest and most carbon-intensive industrial cluster. The projects have the potential to create thousands of skilled jobs and revitalise a key industrial heartland.
Mayor Houchen with Pratima Rangarajan, OGCI and Andy Lane, Net Zero Teesside THE Net Zero Teesside carbon capture, utilisation and storage project has been awarded more than £52million in funding to accelerate the development of onshore and offshore low-carbon and hydrogen infrastructure. The fund will be used to deliver the next stage in planning of a flexible gas-fired power station with carbon capture, utilisation and storage capabilities on the Teesworks site. Net Zero Teesside, a consortium of the world’s largest oil companies led by BP, has partnered with Zero Carbon Humber, a similar project, to form the Northern Endurance Partnership. This is a development of an offshore pipeline network which will see captured carbon dioxide emissions from both Net Zero Teesside and Zero Carbon Humber transported and permanently stored deep underground.
