SUEZ announces partnerships for EfW carbon capture and storage in North-East
Pre-FEED contractors appointed for development of energy-from-waste facilities in Teesside as part of the East Coast Cluster.
The waste management company has announced its intention to apply for funding under the Industrial Carbon Capture Track-1 Expansion project: a program, managed by the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero, to expand the UK’s carbon capture, usage, and storage capacities.
SUEZ has already secured funding for a pipeline to transport carbon captured at various industrial sites on Teesside to an offshore storage site beneath the North Sea.
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.”
The project comes as a continuation of SUEZ’s strategy to reduce the carbon output of its operations, including its investment in a low-carbon alternative to liquid petroleum gas (LPG).
Pre-FEED Partnerships
SUEZ has partnered with engineering and technology companies, Fluor and Technip Energies, as Pre-FEED contractors for its energy-from-waste facilities located in Teesside and Wilton, respectively. These facilities are set to connect directly to the East Coast Cluster pipeline, which secured government consent earlier this year.
Jason Kraynek, President of Fluor’s Production and Fuels business, said: “Fluor is proud to assist SUEZ in meeting its goal to decarbonise its energy-from-waste facility at the Haverton Hill Industrial Estate at Teesside.
“Our Econamine FG PlusSM carbon capture technology is perfectly suited to assist SUEZ in creating a more sustainable future.”
Christophe Malaurie, SVP Decarbonisation Solutions in Technip Energies, further commented: “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.”
