Honeywell to power UK’s carbon capture future with integrated automation system

Honeywell's technology will be used in both the NZT Power station, a gas-fired plant designed to capture carbon, and the NEP, which focuses on CO₂ transport and storage

Honeywell has been selected to supply its integrated automation and safety systems for two flagship UK carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects: the Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power) and the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP). These projects are a cornerstone of the UK's national decarbonization strategy. 

Honeywell's technology will be used in both the NZT Power station, a gas-fired plant designed to capture carbon, and the NEP, which focuses on CO₂ transport and storage. The company's Integrated Control and Safety Systems (ICSS) will combine process control and safety for efficient and reliable operations. 

The NZT Power facility aims to generate over 740 megawatts of low-carbon power and capture up to two million tonnes of CO₂ per year. The NEP will establish the UK's first CO₂ transportation and storage system, moving emissions to secure offshore storage beneath the North Sea. 

The NEP project will transport CO₂ from multiple carbon capture sites across Teesside and the Humber regions to offshore storage under the North Sea. Honeywell’s ICSS technology will be integrated with NEP’s new CO₂ transport and storage network, linking industrial emitters to a subsurface saline aquifer and an onshore pipeline system. 

“The integration of Honeywell technology within these pioneering projects will play a major role in their ability to redefine the future of clean energy in the UK,” said Menzo Bijmolen, vice president and general manager – EMEA, Industrial Automation Projects & Automation Solutions, Honeywell.
