Industrial CCS blueprint set out for Teesside

A bold £5bn, 20-year plan to develop Europe’s first industrial carbon capture and storage (CCS) cluster in the Tees Valley has taken a step forward with the publication of a detailed blueprint for development.

The series of documents produced by the Teesside Collective, a project run by the local enterprise partnership TVU, provide a first robust assessment of technical and financial needs and benefits for such a cluster in the UK’s most carbon-intensive region.¹ Chemical, petrochemical, steel and energy companies are all involved.
