The White Rose CCS project could create 2000 construction jobs

and c. £2 billion of investment

The project will generate enough clean energy to power

over 630,000 homes

2 million tonnes of CO2 per year will be stored in deep rock formations under the North Sea.

The pipeline could take CO2 from other power stations and industry.

2050

Power stations with CCS could provide more than

20% of UK’s total electricity by 2050

The plant is being designed to burn 10% biomass with coal to

reduce emissions even further.90%
