Eston Grange Power Station

Eston Grange Power Station (also known as Teesside Low Carbon Project) was a proposed power station to be situated near to Eston in Redcar and Cleveland. If built, it would have been the UK's first pre-combustion carbon capture and storage (CCS) plant. The station could have generated up to 850 megawatts of electricity, enough to supply around a million people with electricity. The station would use standard oil refinery technology to turn gasified coal into hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The power station was not built following the cancellation of the UK's Carbon Capture and Storage competition in 2015.
