Teeside IGCC power station (Teeside Low Carbon)

The Teeside IGCC power station (Teeside Low Carbon) is a proposed 450 megawatt Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle plant with pre-combustion capture on a brownfield site on Teesside. The project has been proposed by Teeside Low Carbon, a consortium comprising BOC, GDF SUEZ, Premier Oil and Progressive Energy. The consortium has stated that it expects that it will "make an investment decision in 2014, subject to appropriate planning and other regulatory approvals." At the end of October 2012 the Department of Energy and Climate Change announced that the project had been short-listed as one of four bidders "for the next phase of the UK’s £1bn Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) competition."
