Technip Energies and GE Vernova Advance the UK’s Transition to Net-Zero with one of the World’s First Commercial Scale Gas-Fired Power and Carbon Capture Projects

• Net Zero Teesside (NZT) Power is expected to be one of the first gas-fired power stations of its kind - fully integrated with carbon capture technology.
• Consortium and technology selection marks an important next step towards the proposed development of bp’s NZT Power project in the UK, aiming to capture up to 2 million tonnes of CO₂ per year.
• Project is expected to provide flexible, dispatchable low-carbon power equivalent to the average electricity requirements of around 1.3 million UK homes, and to progress the deployment of carbon capture technology in line with the UK Government’s net-zero programme.
  
  

Technip Energies (PARIS: TE), leader of a consortium with GE Vernova, and construction partner, Balfour Beatty, received a Letter of Intent from bp, on behalf of NZT Power Limited for the execution phase of the Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power) in the United Kingdom.

This landmark project is poised to become one of the world’s first commercial scale gas-fired power stations with carbon capture, expected to capture up to 2 million tonnes of CO₂ per year. The project is set to provide flexible, dispatchable low-carbon power equivalent to the average electricity requirements of around 1.3 million UK homes, further supporting the nation's transition to a cleaner energy future.

The NZT Power project is also a key component of the Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) East Coast Cluster and has been shortlisted for government funding support as part of the UK's net-zero programme. This selection follows the Development Consent Order recently having been granted by the Secretary of State for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.

The Technip Energies and GE Vernova consortium, supported by leading infrastructure group Balfour Beatty, will play an important role constructing a highly efficient combined cycle plant. It will be powered by an advanced GE Vernova 9HA.02 gas turbine, a steam turbine, a generator and a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG), which will integrate with a state-of-the-art carbon capture plant using Technip Energies’ Canopy by T.EN^TM solution powered by the Shell CANSOLV CO₂ capture technology.
