SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK has collaborated with Preliminary Front End Engineering and Design (Pre-FEED) contractors on two carbon capture initiatives within the East Coast Cluster.
This collaboration is aimed at preparing a funding application for the Industrial Carbon Capture Track-1 Expansion project, facilitated by the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero.
Funding has already been secured for the main pipeline in the East Coast Cluster, which will transport carbon captured from various projects in Teesside to an aquifer located 145 km offshore in the North Sea, ensuring safe storage.
The East Coast Cluster initiative is crucial for the UK’s Net Zero targets, with the Government’s Climate Change Committee emphasizing that carbon capture is essential for achieving these goals by 2050.
At SUEZ, our priority is to minimize the carbon footprint associated with our customers’ waste. We are committed to innovation throughout the process, from reducing the carbon content of incoming waste—such as large-scale recycling of flexible plastics—to capturing carbon from flue gas emissions at the end of the energy recovery process.
We have a defined strategy for the design and construction of carbon capture systems and are actively investing in this technology by engaging contractors before the next round of government funding.
Fluor is aiding the Pre-FEED for our existing energy-from-waste facility located at Haverton Hill Industrial Estate in Teesside, while Technip Energies is collaborating on the Pre-FEED for our Wilton energy-from-waste facility. Both facilities are part of the East Coast Cluster and will connect directly to the recently approved pipeline.
Stuart Hayward-Higham, Technical Development Director at SUEZ Recycling and Recovery UK, stated, “As a leader in environmental services, SUEZ is dedicated to facilitating the ecological transition in the waste and water sectors. Carbon capture is critical for decarbonization, and we possess the expertise to realize this vision. We are confident in our strategy and well-positioned to demonstrate the capabilities of this technology. Our technology partners, Fluor and Technip Energies, were selected for their experience, capture efficiency, and design costs. We are optimistic that the government will support these initiatives to maximize carbon capture potential across Teesside and Humber.”
The successful execution of these projects will set the stage for a widespread rollout of carbon capture solutions throughout our energy-from-waste facilities, with plans already underway in other regions of the UK. Technip Energies is applying its expertise not only for Wilton but also for our Severnside energy-from-waste facility in Bristol, part of the 7CO2 cluster.
“Fluor is honored to support SUEZ in its mission to decarbonize the energy-from-waste facility at Haverton Hill Industrial Estate in Teesside,” remarked Jason Kraynek, President of Fluor’s Production and Fuels division.
“Our Econamine FG PlusSM carbon capture technology is ideally suited to help SUEZ create a more sustainable future. Fluor is a global leader in decarbonization technologies and is eager to provide our energy-efficient and cost-effective carbon capture solutions to SUEZ.”
Christophe Malaurie, SVP of Decarbonisation Solutions at Technip Energies, commented, “Our collaboration with SUEZ on these two carbon capture projects in the UK highlights our shared commitment to decarbonizing challenging industries and fostering a sustainable future. By utilizing Technip Energies’ Canopy C200 modular solution powered by the established Shell CANSOLV® CO2 Capture system, we are advancing towards our Net Zero objectives while ensuring cost-effectiveness and reliability in delivery.”
