Join to apply for the DCO & Consents Manager - Net Zero role at Northern Endurance Partnership
Direct message the job poster from Northern Endurance Partnership
The Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) is developing onshore and offshore infrastructure needed to transport CO2 from carbon capture projects across Teesside and the Humber – collectively known as the East Coast Cluster - to secure storage under the North Sea. The infrastructure is crucial to achieving net zero in the UK’s most carbon intensive industrial regions.
NEP is in an incorporated joint venture established solely to develop and operate CO₂ transportation and storage infrastructure on behalf of the NEP Shareholders – bp, Equinor and TotalEnergies.
In December 2024, NEP announced financial close, giving the green light to proceed to the execution phase of the transportation and storage infrastructure network that will serve three initial carbon capture projects on Teesside: NZT Power, H2Teesside and Teesside Hydrogen CO2 Capture. NEP expects to commence construction from the middle of 2025 with start-up expected in 2028.
