THE POWER
Twenty-seven reasons why Tees Valley is helping shape Britain’ s future
Not so long ago, many people viewed Tees Valley through the lens of its industrial past. Today, they are increasingly looking at its future.
Across the region, billions of pounds are being invested in clean energy, advanced manufacturing, defence, technology, transport, skills and culture.
These are the projects, businesses and developments driving that change – and helping put Tees Valley firmly on the map as a place to invest, innovate and grow.
Green machine – how Net Zero Teesside Power will look on completion.
Net Zero Teesside Power
Tees Valley is at the forefront of the UK’ s energy transition. Net Zero Teesside Power will become one of the world’ s first gas-fired power stations with carbon capture technology, helping cut emissions while maintaining reliable energy supplies.
As the UK’ s first commercial-scale carbon capture, utilisation and storage facility, it will capture up to 10m tonnes of CO 2 per year, transforming Teesside into the world’ s first decorbonisation industrial cluster.
Northern Endurance Partnership
Capturing carbon is only part of the challenge. Northern Endurance Partnership is developing the infrastructure needed to transport and permanently store millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide beneath the North Sea, creating a foundation for future industrial decarbonisation.
