The collaboration has come as Suez is preparing for an application for funding through the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero’s Industrial Carbon Capture Track-1 Expansion project. The work has taken place at two of Suez’s carbon capture projects in the East Coast Cluster.
Funding is already in place for the main East Coast Cluster pipeline for Teesside, which will transport carbon captured from a range of projects across Teesside to an aquifer 145km off the coast beneath the North Sea for storage.
Suez said that it hopes the East Coast Cluster will “play a key role in helping the UK to achieve Net Zero”.
Preliminary Front End Engineering and Design
Suez has said that the Pre-FEED is being supported by its existing Energy-from-Waste (EfW) facility at the Haverton Hill Industrial Estate on Teesside, while it has partnered with Technip Energies for the Pre-FEED for the EfW facility in Wilton. Both plants sit within the East Coast Cluster and would plug directly into the pipeline which recieved consent earlier this year.
Stuart Hayward-Higham, technical development director for Suez recycling and recovery UK, said: “Carbon capture is vital to decarbonisation and we have the expertise to make this a reality. We are confident in our strategy and are ideally placed to showcase what this technology can do. Our technology partners, Fluor and Technip Energies, were chosen based on their experience, capture rate and design costs. We’re hopeful that government will back these projects to maximise the potential that can be captured across Teesside and Humber.”
Technip Energies will also be utilised for Suez’s EfW facility in Severnside, Bristol (part of the 7CO2 cluster).
Christophe Malaurie, SVP decarbonisation solutions in Technip Energies, said: “Our partnership with Suez for two carbon capture projects in the UK demonstrates our joint commitment to decarbonising hard-to-abate industries and building a sustainable future.”
