Teesside CCS construction project contract worth £833 million awarded to Balfour Beatty
In a groundbreaking development, Balfour Beatty has been awarded an £833m contract for the construction of Net Zero Teesside Power, a gas-fired power station with carbon capture and storage (CCS) in north-east England. The project, one of the world's first gas-fired power stations with CCS, is a joint venture between BP and Equinor. Balfour Beatty will not only construct the large-scale combined cycle gas-powered generation plant but also build the post-combustion carbon capture system. The carbon capture system, expected to capture up to two million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, will compress and feed the captured carbon dioxide directly into the offshore pipeline. The Northern Endurance Partnership, comprising BP, Equinor, and TotalEnergies, will store the captured carbon dioxide under the North Sea. Technip Energies and GE Vernova are also involved in the project, with Shell Catalysts & Technologies serving as the technology partner. The partners' involvement was reported in December 2024 by gasworld. The carbon capture and storage gas-fired power station, Net Zero Teesside Power, is a significant step towards reducing carbon emissions and achieving a more sustainable energy future. For detailed information about the project, subscribing to gasworld is required. The Northern Endurance Partnership, which will carry out the underground carbon dioxide storage, includes TotalEnergies and other partners involved in this CCS project. However, the detailed list of all member companies is not specified in the available sources. TotalEnergies is specifically mentioned as involved in projects related to the Northern Endurance Partnership. This project marks a milestone in the fight against climate change, demonstrating the potential of gas-fired power stations with CCS to contribute to the global efforts to limit global warming and reach net-zero emissions.
