Sembcorp’s biomass power station, located on the Wilton International site in Tees Valley, U.K., has been chosen to host a University of Edinburgh carbon capture and storage project. “We are delighted to be able to host Edinburgh University’s work in Carbon Capture at Wilton International as we look to further increase the ‘green’ credentials of the site and continue our commitment to offer green energy solutions,” Scott Taylor, Sembcorp assistant vice president of business development, said in a Tees Valley Combined Authority press release.
Tees Valley is home to the Teesside Collective, a group of industrial facilities working to develop an industrial carbon capture and storage hub, sharing infrastructure. “It is very pleasing that Edinburgh University has chosen Tees Valley for this project. It is another example of how Teesside Collective is working to actively progress Carbon Capture and Storage in the Tees Valley and a clear demonstration of interest from local business in exploring new options in relation to CCS,” Dave Budd, chairman of the Tees Valley Combined Authority, said in the release.
