Carbon Capture Ready? – Developing a Toolkit for Industry to Enable Carbon Capture within Energy from Waste plants in the Tees Valley

Carbon Capture Ready? – Developing a Toolkit for Industry** is a Tees Valley project focused on helping Energy from Waste (EfW) plants prepare for carbon capture technology. It aims to create a practical toolkit that guides operators on how to design, adapt, and operate EfW facilities so they can integrate carbon capture systems effectively in the future. By providing technical guidance, best practices, and planning support, the project will make it easier for the sector to cut greenhouse gas emissions. This will support the Tees Valley’s ambition to be a leader in low-carbon innovation and contribute to the UK’s net zero targets.

**Carbon Capture Ready?** is a project in the Tees Valley that helps Energy from Waste plants get ready to add carbon capture systems in the future. These systems trap the carbon dioxide produced when waste is turned into energy, stopping it from entering the atmosphere. The project will create an easy-to-use guide for plant operators, showing them how to design or adapt their sites so carbon capture can be added smoothly. This will make it easier for the industry to cut emissions, support local green innovation, and help the UK move towards its net zero climate goals.
