Construction<\/a> work has begun at the former Redcar steelworks which will become the home to the world-leading Net Zero Teesside Power project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The preparatory work by Teesworks is underway following the recent signing of an option-for-lease agreement between NZT Power partners bp and Equinor, and Teesworks. The deal could see the multi-billion-pound scheme become an anchor tenant at Teesworks \u2013 the UK\u2019s largest industrial zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NZT Power aims to be the world\u2019s first gas-fired power station with carbon capture and storage capability, and will help drive Teesside\u2019s aim to become the UK\u2019s first decarbonised industrial cluster as early as 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed power station will generate up to 860 megawatts of low carbon electricity- enough to power up to 1.3 million UK homes<\/a>. Up to two million tonnes of CO2<\/sub> emissions from the power station will be captured each year \u2013 emissions which would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. The captured CO2<\/sub> will then be transported by the Northern Endurance Partnership by pipeline to a geological storage site under the North Sea, where it will be permanently and safely stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin Corney, Teesworks CEO, said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to take this crucial next step which paves the way for the world-first Net Zero Teesside project, which pioneers the advancement of the globe\u2019s low carbon industries on our doorstep, and help future tenants achieve their own low carbon ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow that all the structures are down, we can get on with the vital remediation work needed to make this project a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
