Stallingborough CCGT Carbon Capture Project

The Stallingborough CCS Project is an early-stage integrated carbon capture power project proposed by RWE Generation UK at Stallingborough, North East Lincolnshire, UK. The development centers on a new natural gas-fired combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power station with fully integrated carbon capture infrastructure, designed to deliver up to 900 MWe of low-carbon flexible electricity while capturing emissions from combustion before they are released. The plant will include flue gas CO₂ capture systems, supporting infrastructure, and connections for fuel supply, grid export, and future CO₂ transport to storage networks. The project aims to capture up to about 2 million tonnes of CO₂ per year by integrating capture equipment directly with the power station’s exhaust, contributing to UK decarbonisation goals and regional industrial emissions reduction. It is strategically located near the Humber Estuary with access to proposed CO₂ transport and storage infrastructure such as the Viking CCS and wider UK CCS cluster networks. RWE has progressed pre-application consultation steps and begun engineering design, community engagement, and environmental assessments, targeting submission of a Development Consent Order (DCO) application in 2026 under the UK Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project planning process
