Net Zero Teesside will become the world's first gas-fired power plant with carbon capture and storage facilities, producing up to 860 megawatts of electricity, enough to power around 1.3 million homes per year.
Up to 2 million tonnes of CO2 emissions from the power station will be captured per year and transported off shore for storage.
Teesside is a region in the north of England with a proud industrial heritage and home to a diverse cluster of industrial, power and hydrogen companies and it is estimated this multi-billion pound mega project will create up to 5,500 jobs during construction with the plant coming online in 2028.
