Equinor and BP have been awarded carbon storage licences in the southern North Sea, a key step in the Net Zero ambitions for the Humber and Teesside.
The pair are part of the Northern Endurance Partnership, the umbrella organisation bringing forward the East Coast Cluster CCS proposal - which includes both Zero Carbon Humber and Net Zero Teesside.
Uniting both regions offshore, it has already been named as the government’s forerunner in the cluster sequencing for the deployment of the technology, seen as vital to decarbonise existing heavy industry.
