I wouldn't get too excited yet.
The remediation and infrastructure work currently underway is being funded by Teesworks Ltd’s joint venture partners i.e. us
A final investment decision will not be taken by NZT Power partners until 2024.
There is nothing to suggest that the CO2 capture and storage scheme isn't going ahead. I don't know how long people imagine this will take but is is an absolutely huge job and the work is going on right now. Just don't expect to see anything above ground for a while yet.Breaking ground to build a gas power plant with no CO2 capture or storage infrastructure in place and none on the horizon.
Its slow going as the government have to sign off on every stage and reviewing instead of letting the big hitters plough onThere is nothing to suggest that the CO2 capture and storage scheme isn't going ahead.

No one told me about the latter, how much does it pay?Which net zero project is this? CO2 capture and storage, biomass power or piping unicorn farts into the gas grid?
It isn't just that, it's that it is such a massive project. We are talking about capturing nearly all of the CO2 from the industries of Teesside and Humberside and pumping it miles offshore to safe storage. Eventually most of the petrochemical sites on these two rivers will need structural alterations, there will be Above Ground Installations to plan and build, whose land they will be on and who will supply the energy to run them and all kinds of other problems to solve. At the moment they are only just planning the pipeline routes in Teesside area.Its slow going as the government have to sign off on every stage and reviewing instead of letting the big hitters plough on
It’s where they put the collection pipe thats the downsideNo one told me about the latter, how much does it pay?
It's a scam to allow fossil fuel use and CO2 emissions to continue unabated while pretending to do something. Efficient cost effective technology doesn't exist at scale. It will still be about to happen in 20 years.It isn't just that, it's that it is such a massive project.

Well its not unabated is it. That's the whole point.It's a scam to allow fossil fuel use and CO2 emissions to continue unabated while pretending to do something. Efficient cost effective technology doesn't exist at scale. It will still be about to happen in 20 years.
