Northern Endurance Partnership Launches the First CCS Project in the UK With the Participation of TotalEnergies
TotalEnergies announces participation in the UK's first Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project through the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP), where it holds a 10% stake. The project will store up to 4 million tonnes of CO2 annually, serving three carbon capture projects in the Teesside region. The infrastructure includes an onshore CO2 gathering network, compression facilities, and a 145 km offshore pipeline connected to subsea injection facilities in the Endurance saline aquifer.
Construction is scheduled to begin in mid-2025, with first CO2 storage expected in 2028. The project aims to support the UK's net zero emissions target by 2050 and will contribute to TotalEnergies' objective of developing significant CO2 storage capacities in the North Sea.
TotalEnergies annuncia la partecipazione al primo progetto di cattura e stoccaggio del carbonio (CCS) nel Regno Unito attraverso il Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP), di cui detiene una partecipazione del 10%. Il progetto immagazzinerà fino a 4 milioni di tonnellate di CO2 all'anno, servendo tre progetti di cattura del carbonio nella regione di Teesside. L'infrastruttura include una rete di raccolta di CO2 onshore, impianti di compressione e un gasdotto offshore di 145 km collegato a strutture di iniezione sottomarine nell'acquifero salino di Endurance.
La costruzione è prevista per metà 2025, con il primo stoccaggio di CO2 atteso nel 2028. Il progetto ha l'obiettivo di supportare la centrale del Regno Unito per le emissioni nette zero entro il 2050 e contribuirà all'obiettivo di TotalEnergies di sviluppare capacità significative di stoccaggio di CO2 nel Mare del Nord.

TotalEnergies kündigt die Teilnahme am ersten Projekt zur Kohlenstoffabscheidung und -speicherung (CCS) im Vereinigten Königreich durch die Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) an, an dem es mit 10% beteiligt ist. Das Projekt wird jährlich bis zu 4 Millionen Tonnen CO2 speichern und drei Projekte zur Kohlenstoffabscheidung in der Region Teesside versorgen. Die Infrastruktur umfasst ein onshore CO2-Sammelsystem, Druckeinrichtungen und eine 145 km lange Offshore-Pipeline, die mit Unterseeinjektionsanlagen im Endurance-Salin aquifer verbunden ist.
Der Bau ist für Mitte 2025 geplant, wobei die erste CO2-Speicherung für 2028 erwartet wird. Das Projekt zielt darauf ab, das Ziel des Vereinigten Königreichs für netto null Emissionen bis 2050 zu unterstützen und wird zum Ziel von TotalEnergies beitragen, bedeutende CO2-Speicherkapazitäten in der Nordsee zu entwickeln.

Insights
The launch of UK's first Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project through the Northern Endurance Partnership marks a significant milestone in industrial decarbonization. The 4 million tonnes per year CO2 storage capacity represents a substantial advancement in carbon reduction infrastructure. The project's comprehensive scope, including a 145 km offshore pipeline and underwater storage facilities, demonstrates robust technical planning. The 2028 operational timeline aligns with growing market demand for carbon storage solutions. TotalEnergies' 10% stake positions them strategically in the emerging CCS market, particularly valuable given their existing North Sea expertise. This infrastructure investment significantly enhances the UK's position in the global carbon capture market while supporting industrial decarbonization efforts in the Teesside region.
This project represents a strategic expansion of TotalEnergies' carbon neutrality portfolio, strengthening their position in the growing CCS market. The financial close signals strong investor confidence and government support, reducing project execution risks. While the 10% ownership stake is modest, it provides TotalEnergies with valuable operational experience and market positioning in the UK's emerging CCS sector. The project's ability to serve multiple industrial customers through three carbon capture projects ensures steady revenue streams. The government backing and alignment with UK's net-zero targets provide regulatory certainty and potential for future expansion. This investment enhances TotalEnergies' ESG profile while creating new revenue opportunities in the carbon storage market.

About Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP)
NEP is the CO2 transportation and storage provider for the East Coast Cluster (ECC). The NEP infrastructure will initially serve the Teesside-based carbon capture projects – NZT Power, H2Teesside and Teesside Hydrogen CO2 Capture – that were selected for first connection to NEP by Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) in March 2023 as part of the UK’s cluster sequencing process for carbon capture usage and storage (CCUS).
NEP has been granted the first Carbon Dioxide Transport and Storage Licence in the
NEP has also been granted a CO2 Storage Permit by the North Sea Transition Authority which will enable CO2 injection and storage to commence when the infrastructure is complete.
