Pune: Honeywell has been selected by Technip Energies to supply carbon capture automation systems for two of the United Kingdom’s most prominent decarbonization initiatives – the Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power) project and the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP).
The projects represent major milestones in the development of large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure in the UK.
The company will deploy its Integrated Control and Safety Systems (ICSS), providing a unified automation framework that integrates process control, safety, and operational reliability across both sites.

These carbon capture automation systems are designed to support secure, efficient, and continuous operations across complex CCS environments.
Carbon capture automation systems to support NZT Power and NEP operations
At the heart of Honeywell’s scope is a single, integrated automation architecture that combines control and safety functions for the NZT Power and NEP facilities.
The system will help ensure safe and reliable plant performance while supporting the operational demands of next-generation carbon capture projects.
The NZT Power project is expected to become the world’s first gas-fired power station equipped with carbon capture technology. Located in Teesside, the facility will generate more than 740 megawatts of flexible, low-carbon power – sufficient to meet the annual electricity needs of over one million UK homes.
The plant will capture up to two million tonnes of CO₂ annually, which will then be transported and stored using NEP’s infrastructure.
The Northern Endurance Partnership project is being developed to transport carbon dioxide from multiple industrial capture sites across the Teesside and Humber regions.

Collectively known as the East Coast Cluster, these captured emissions will be transported via an onshore pipeline network and stored offshore beneath the North Sea in a subsurface saline aquifer formation. Honeywell’s carbon capture automation systems will be integrated across this transportation and storage network.
Technip Energies is leading the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) consortium alongside GE Vernova and construction partner Balfour Beatty for both projects.
NZT Power and NEP are positioned as cornerstone initiatives within the UK’s national decarbonization strategy and are expected to serve as reference models for future CCS developments globally.
Honeywell’s participation in both projects aligns with its focus on advancing energy transition efforts through digitalization and automation.
