World's first clean gas energy plant on the way to Teesside

A consortium of six global energy giants has unveiled phase one of its plans to create a huge power plant which will run on natural clean gas.

Branded the ‘Clean Gas Project’, if developed it would be the world’s first gas-powered energy plant to deploy full-chain Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) at scale. This means CO2 from the plant would be captured and then stored via pipelines under the North Sea.

The CCUS technology, once fully developed, could also attract more companies to the region that are seeking ways to utilise CO2 commercially - such as converting the waste gas into more useful chemicals that can be used in the supply chain.

The six companies behind the Clean Gas Protect, which is led by the consortium OGCI Climate Investments, are BP, ENI, Equinor, Oxy, Shell and Total – with a total combined market capitalisation of over £500billion.

The OGCI consortium is responsible for a $1billion+ fund, investing in technologies and business models which lower the carbon footprint of the energy and industrial sectors.
 
I suppose that it isn't surprising that this is ignored, despite the fact that this is the first full scale carbon capture project in the world. I suspect there is a strong 'not invented here' vibe going on.

They are trying to figure out a way to have The Obama take credit for it.

Whatever. The AGW crowd will take ocean temperature readings right next to its hot exhaust lines and then declare the oceans are warming faster than predicted and we are all doomed. To have any benefit, it would need to significantly sink more carbon than it consumes.

No problem, it's potential is massive and could well be emulated all over the world. Have you noticed that the ones that are always bleating about being banned have avoided this thread like the plague?

It's because they're too busy protesting the drilling for natural gas...
 
Where Dogsnatcher, Rune, McSquawker and Crypiss? Just like cockroaches they scatter when the light is turned on.

Yes. If it becomes some sort of intellectual debate they scatter like rats.
