Honeywell's technology is set to enhance the safety and automation of two major decarbonization projects in the UK. Honeywell announced today that it has been selected by Technip Energies to supply integrated automation and safety technology for the Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power) and Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) projects, which are among the UK's most significant carbon capture and storage (CCS) development initiatives.

Honeywell's Integrated Control and Safety System (ICSS) will offer a unified automation architecture for NZT Power and NEP, integrating process control and safety functions. This solution is designed to support the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of both project sites.

The NZT Power project is poised to become the world's first gas-fired power station equipped with carbon capture technology. Located along the River Tees, once operational, it will play a pivotal role in reducing industrial carbon emissions and accelerating the UK's transition to net-zero emissions. The power station will be capable of generating over 740 megawatts of flexible, dispatchable low-carbon electricity, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of more than one million UK households. NZT Power will capture up to two million tons of carbon dioxide annually and transport and store it via the NEP infrastructure—the UK's first carbon dioxide transport and storage project.

Similarly, the NEP project aims to transport carbon dioxide generated by multiple carbon capture projects in the Teesside and Humber regions of the UK (collectively known as the East Coast Cluster) to offshore storage facilities beneath the North Sea. Honeywell's technology will be integrated with the project's newly constructed carbon dioxide transport and storage network, which connects industrial emission sources across the region through underground saline formations in the North Sea and onshore pipeline networks.

Menzo Biemolen, Vice President and General Manager of Honeywell Industrial Automation Projects and Automation Solutions for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, said, "The integration of Honeywell's technology in these groundbreaking projects will play a crucial role in reshaping the UK's clean energy future. To deploy innovative carbon capture technologies on a large scale, it is essential to have innovative automation technology that balances operational excellence and safety."

Technip Energies is leading a consortium that includes GE Vernova and construction partner Balfour Beatty, responsible for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts for both the NZT Power and NEP projects. These projects serve as cornerstones of the UK's national decarbonization strategy and are expected to become global benchmarks for future carbon capture and storage infrastructure. By capturing and safely storing millions of tons of carbon dioxide annually, these initiatives aim to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of heavy industry and power generation sectors while attracting sustained investment in clean energy innovation.

Honeywell's involvement in these projects underscores the company's commitment to driving the global energy transition through advanced digital and automation technologies. With deep expertise across multiple sectors and approximately 4,000 employees across more than 20 locations in the UK, Honeywell possesses proven and readily available technology to support the UK government's "Clean Energy 2030" goals through its participation in the NZT Power and NEP projects.
