RWE has entered into a development partnership with Harbour Energy the UK’s largest independent oil and gas producer. The partnership will enable RWE to investigate options to capture, transport and store CO2 from RWE’s gas fired power stations via Viking CCS (formerly V Net Zero), Harbour Energy’s CO2 transport and storage network.RWE is looking at carbon capture as a viable solution to deliver decarbonised, reliable and dispatchable power stations that are in the vicinity of the proposed CO2 networks or have access to shipping facilities like Viking CCSThe projects in development are the retrofit of state of the art carbon capture technology at the 1.7GW Staythorpe CCGT, near Newark and a new build H Class CCGT at an RWE owned site on the Humber. The partnership could lead to the transportation and storage of captured CO2 from these sites. The captured CO2 would be transported to the site of the former Theddlethorpe Gas Terminal. It would then be transported 140 kilometres to Harbour Energy’s depleted Viking gas fields in the North Sea, 9,000 feet beneath the seabed, for secure permanent storage.
