Whitetail Clean Energy
The Whitetail Clean Energy is a proposed power station in Wilton, Redcar and Cleveland, England. The generating process of the plant is listed as a "clean energy source", using natural gas and oxygen in a Allam-Fetvedt Cycle to create power. The excess carbon dioxide () not used by the co-generation process is intended to be captured and stored under the North Sea, making the plant the first in the United Kingdom to utilise this type of technology, and also using carbon sequestration under the North Sea. The plant is also included in the Net Zero Teesside project. The power plant is proposed to start generating in 2025. Proposal The power station, which is a joint venture between 8 Rivers Capital and Sembcorp (UK), is expected to create 2,000 jobs in the building process, with a further 200 to run the plant on a day-to-day basis. The plant would combust pure oxygen with natural gas, using a high pressure carbon dioxide (CO2) stream (supercritical carbon dioxide), rather than steam to rotate a turbine, which would generate the electricity. The CO2 stream would then be fed through a heat exchanger and then cooled. Excess of around 800,000 tons per year would be
