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.
