UK engineering company Cullum Detuners Limited is pleased to announce they have been awarded a contract by Technip Energies to support NZT Power, poised to be the world’s first commercial scale gas-fired power station with carbon capture and storage technology.  

NZT Power will be capable of generating up to 742 megawatts of flexible, dispatchable low-carbon power, equivalent to the annual electricity requirements of more than one million UK homes. Up to two million tonnes of CO₂ a year will be captured from NZT Power and then transported and stored by the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) infrastructure – the UK’s first CO₂ transportation and storage infrastructure project.

Technip Energies leads a consortium with GE Vernova, alongside construction partner Balfour Beatty, to deliver the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract for the NZT Power and NEP onshore Power, Capture and Compression project.

Cullum will procure, manufacture and install the High Specification Flue Gas Ducting for the project. The project will be managed out of Cullum’s Stockton-on-Tees offices with fabrication being performed by In-Spec in Middlesbrough. The contract will facilitate 40 fabricators working over a 15-month period, utilising 25 of the existing staff and creating 15 new positions. Two Engineering and Management roles have also recently been filled to support the project.

Kevin McEneny, Sales Director at Cullum, said: “This is a landmark project for decarbonised power generation within the UK. We are proud to have been selected to deliver the project which is a testament to our truly local manufacture and delivery strategy. Final module assembly will be performed in the former British Steel Plate Mill. Our project execution strategy secures local jobs and incorporates locally sourced materials & services.”
