Northern Endurance to Launch UK’s First Carbon Capture Project
The Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) has secured financial close for the UK’s first carbon capture and storage (CCS) project, set to store up to 4 million tonnes of CO2 annually. TotalEnergies holds a 10% stake in NEP, which plans to begin construction in mid-2025, with operations expected by 2028.
The project will support three carbon capture initiatives in the Teesside region: NZT Power, H2Teesside, and Teesside Hydrogen CO2 Capture. It includes onshore CO2 gathering networks, compression facilities, and a 145-kilometer offshore pipeline connected to the Endurance saline aquifer, located 1,000 meters below the seabed.
“We are very pleased to be a part of this significant moment in the development of the UK’s CCS industry,” said Arnaud Le Foll, Senior Vice President of New Business – Carbon Neutrality at TotalEnergies. “NEP is a frontrunner project, and we look forward to transporting and permanently storing CO2 from one of the UK’s largest industrial regions.”
Chris Daykin, Director of NEP, described the project as “a landmark moment in the development of CCUS infrastructure and the UK’s ambition to reach net zero emissions by 2050.” He noted that the partnership is backed by shareholders and the UK government.
Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, said, “This investment launches a new era for clean energy in Britain – boosting energy security, backing industries, and supporting thousands of highly skilled jobs in Teesside and the North East.”
