An environmental statement (ES) designed by technical consultancy Xodus helped the Northern Endurance Partnership take its final investment decision for the carbon capture and storage (CCS) project offshore Teesside, Xodus said January 8.
It is the first such project to get this far in the UK. The ES covers the offshore CO2 transportation and storage scopes for onshore Teesside-based carbon capture projects. Xodus said: “This is a major milestone, not just for the Northern Endurance Partnership but for the UK’s CCS sector as a whole. Never before has a development like this reached such an advanced stage.”
The stakeholders in NEP are the French major TotalEnergies, Norwegian state-owned Equinor and UK major BP. The project had environmental approval from Opred last October.
