In the United-Kingdom, SUEZ and bp have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore the feasibility of the UK’s first carbon capture and storage project from energy-from-waste. The Net Zero Teesside Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) project plans to capture up to 10 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, the equivalent to the annual energy use of over 3 million UK homes.
The agreement paves the way for SUEZ to develop a solution to capture the carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from one of four energy-from-waste facilities it operates in the Teesside area. Once captured, the CO₂ will be supplied to the bp led Net Zero Teesside CCUS project, to be transported and permanently stored in a geological storage site beneath the North Sea.
The SUEZ Group will harness their combined expertise in energy-from-waste and CO₂ separation systems to develop a solvent based modular system to capture CO₂ from energy-from-waste flue gas emissions. The commercial scale demonstration carbon capture plant is planned to be developed at the company’s Tees Valley (Lines 1 and 2) facility at Haverton Hill on Teesside. The project is intended to remove 90% of fossil and biogenic CO₂ emissions from the energy-from-waste plant, leading to it becoming carbon negative.
The successful implementation of the project will enable the large-scale rollout of the carbon capture solution across SUEZ Group’s energy-from-waste plant portfolio and to other industrial emitters located within carbon capture, utilization, and storage hubs worldwide.
