🌟 We are proud to have supported bp, Equinor and TotalEnergies with the groundbreaking financings for Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT) and Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) projects in the United Kingdom. Northern Endurance Partnership project will be the very first carbon capture storage project in the UK, with an initial capacity to securely store up to 4 million tonnes of Co2 per annum. Net Zero Teesside Power aims to be the world’s first commercial-scale gas-fired power station with carbon capture and will be a cornerstone project as the first emitter tied into the Northern Endurance Partnership. Both projects will help to decarbonise the UK’s East Coast Cluster and will be a vital part in achieving UK’s Net Zero ambitions.🌍 We acted as Mandated Lead Arranger, Hedging Bank, Documentation Agent (NEP) and Technical Bank (NEP) across these two landmark project financings, underscoring our commitment to advancing the decarbonisation of the energy system while addressing the increasing demand for energy security in the UK.💡 #decarbonisation #energytransition #carboncapture #sectorexperts Samy Lounis, Güney Ertek, Jasmijn van Kempen, Thao Hanh Le, Maja Stanisic, LL.M⚡️ Society is transitioning to a low-carbon economy.
