BP has awarded two contracts as part of its dual Front End Engineering Design (FEED) competition for the UK’s first full-scale integrated power and carbon capture project on its northeast coast – the Teeside Net Zero Power project and carbon storage infrastructure.
Two groups will submit development plans for NZT Power’s power station and carbon capture plant, and Northern Endurance Partnership’s Teesside high pressure carbon dioxide (CO2) compression and export facilities.
The Technip Energies-led consortium includes Shell as a subcontractor for the provision of the licensed Cansolv CO2 capture technology and Balfour Beatty as the nominated construction partner.
The Aker Solutions-led consortium includes Aker Carbon Capture as a subcontractor for the provision of the licensed CO2 capture technology.
After completion of the FEED process, the two consortiums will submit engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) proposals. As part of the final investment decision expected in 2023, a single consortium will take the project forward.
In October 2021, the UK government selected the Northern Endurance Partnership’s East Coast Cluster as one of the first two clusters be taken forward as part of its carbon capture and storage (CCUS) cluster sequencing process. The Northern Endurance partnership, which BP leads as operator, will provide the common infrastructure needed to transport CO2 from emitters across the Humber and Teesside to secure offshore storage in the Endurance aquifer in the Southern North Sea.
