Keadby 1 power station
Equinor and SSE award Keadby 3 CCS Feed contract
Facility could be the first power station in the UK to be fitted with carbon-capture technology
Norwegian energy firm Equinor and UK power generator SSE Thermal have awarded Feed contracts for the Keadby 3 power station to a consortium of Oslo-based engineering company Aker Solutions, German technology firm Siemens Energy and energy services business Doosan Babcock. Aker’s carbon capture and storage (CCS) spinoff Aker Carbon Capture will provide support for the development of CCS technology for the project. Keadby 3 will be sited alongside the existing Keadby power stations in North Lincolnshire. The facility will burn natural gas while using CCS to capture up to 1.5mn t/yr of carbon emissions. The CO₂ will be transported via an onshore pipeline being developed by the Zero Carbon Humbe
