Technip Energies and GE Vernova awarded major contract for NZT Power project

Technip Energies, leader of a consortium with GE Vernova and construction partner Balfour Beatty – with the support of technology partner Shell Catalysts & Technologies – received Notice to Proceed by NZT Power Limited to execute a major contract for the Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power) project in the United Kingdom.

This landmark project aims to be the world’s first gas-fired power station with carbon capture and storage. Up to 2 million tonnes of CO2 per year will be captured at the plant and transported and permanently stored by the Northern Endurance Partnership. The plant could produce up to 742 megawatts of flexible, low-carbon power, equivalent to the average annual electricity requirements of more than 1 million UK homes, further supporting the UK's transition to a cleaner energy future.

Technip Energies and GE Vernova, with the support of infrastructure group Balfour Beatty, plan to deliver a highly efficient combined cycle plant and associated carbon capture plant. Technip Energies will lead the integration of a state-of-the-art carbon capture plant using its Canopy by T.ENTM solution, powered by Shell’s CANSOLV CO2 Capture System. The plant will be powered by GE Vernova's advanced 9HA.02 gas turbine, a steam turbine, a generator, a Heat Recovery Steam Generator, an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system and benefit from GE Vernova’s maintenance service contract for 16 years.

Balfour Beatty, supported by Shell Catalysts & Technologies, together form the Carbon Capture Alliance (CCA). Alliance members are deeply committed to long-term investment in the UK and already possess a significant local footprint and supply chain.
