Technip Energies and GE Vernova awarded a major contract for the Net Zero Teesside Power project, which aims to be the world’s first gas-fired power station with carbon capture and storage

/EIN News/ -- Technip Energies (PARIS:TE), leader of a consortium with GE Vernova and construction partner Balfour Beatty – with the support of technology partner Shell Catalysts & Technologies – received Notice to Proceed by NZT Power Limited to execute a major⁽¹⁾ contract for the Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power) project in the United Kingdom.

NZT Power has reached financial close and has issued a Full Notice to Proceed to the Technip Energies-led consortium to start the full Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) package for the Onshore Power, Capture and Compression contract. Financial close follows the UK government’s recent announcement of a £21.7 billion pledge for projects to capture and store carbon emissions from energy, industry and hydrogen production.

This landmark project aims to be the world’s first gas-fired power station with carbon capture and storage. Up to 2 million tonnes of CO₂ per year will be captured at the plant and transported and permanently stored by the Northern Endurance Partnership. The plant could produce up to 742 megawatts of flexible, low-carbon power, equivalent to the average annual electricity requirements of more than 1 million UK homes, further supporting the UK's transition to a cleaner energy future.

Supported by the UK government, NZT Power could create and support more than 3,000 construction jobs and then generate 1,000 jobs annually during operations. This initiative is expected to attract private investment and help the UK to meet its climate goals and is aligned with the UK plan to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2050.

Technip Energies and GE Vernova, with the support of infrastructure group Balfour Beatty, plan to deliver a highly efficient combined cycle plant and associated carbon capture plant. Technip Energies will lead the integration of a state-of-the-art carbon capture plant using its Canopy by T.EN^TM solution, powered by Shell’s CANSOLV* CO₂ Capture System. The plant will be powered by GE Vernova’s advanced 9HA.02 gas turbine, a steam turbine, a generator, a Heat Recovery Steam Generator, an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system and benefit from GE Vernova’s maintenance service contract for 16 years.

Technip Energies, GE Vernova and Balfour Beatty, supported by Shell Catalysts & Technologies, together form the Carbon Capture Alliance (CCA). Alliance members are deeply committed to long-term investment in the UK and already possess a significant local footprint and supply chain.

Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies, commented, “We are excited to partner with GE Vernova and Balfour Beatty on the first-of-its kind Net Zero Teesside Power project. This award confirms Technip Energies’ leading position as a provider of state-of-the-art integrated CCUS solutions. I would like to thank Net Zero Teesside Power for their trust. This groundbreaking project represents a significant milestone in our collective efforts to advance carbon capture technology at scale and support the UK’s ambitious climate goals through low carbon power generation from gas combined with renewables. By leveraging our Canopy by T.EN™ solution powered by Shell’s CANSOLV CO₂ Capture System, we aim to set a new standard for low-carbon power generation. This project not only underscores our commitment to innovation and sustainability but also highlights the critical role of collaboration in driving the energy transition forward.”

Maví Zingoni, CEO, Power at GE Vernova commented: “We believe CCUS technology can be crucial to help decarbonise the planet, and we welcome the commitment from the UK government to invest in its implementation as well as NZT Power’s trust in our technology. Flagship projects like Net Zero Teesside Power can give the industry foundations to grow. We look forward to powering the station with our advanced H-Class combined cycle technology, as well as proceeding with the first commercial use of our Exhaust Gas Recirculation system and integration technologies, which aim to support carbon abatement by boosting the efficiency and performance of carbon capture.”

Leo Quinn, CEO of Balfour Beatty Group, said: “Net Zero Teesside is a transformational project, underpinning the UK’s transition to cleaner and greener energy consumption and driving regional economic growth in Northeast England. Today’s announcement takes us one step closer to realising this ambitious scheme, which will demonstrate collaboration at its finest and see us unite our unique strengths together with Technip Energies’ world-leading engineering and technology integration skills, Shell's state-of-the-art CANSOLV* CO₂ Capture technology and GE Vernova’s unparalleled power generation knowledge."

Elise H. Nowee, President of Shell Catalysts & Technologies, said: “Being selected as the carbon capture technology provider for Net Zero Teesside Power reflects the proven capabilities of Shell’s CANSOLV* CO₂ technology in delivering substantial, reliable emissions reductions at scale. This project also highlights the strength of our alliance with Technip Energies, which combines Shell Catalysts & Technologies’ expertise in technology licensing with Technip Energies’ excellence in project integration and delivery. Together, we are addressing the growing demand for scalable post-combustion carbon capture solutions. With the potential to capture up to 2 million tonnes of CO₂ annually, Net Zero Teesside Power marks a critical milestone in the UK’s journey toward net zero.”
