High Court approves UK's Net Zero Teesside Project, a gas-fired power station with carbon capture technology, aligning with net zero goals.

The UK High Court has dismissed a legal challenge against the government's approval of the Net Zero Teesside Project, a gas-fired power station in northeast England. The judge ruled that the project, which is set to emit millions of tonnes of greenhouse gases, aligns with the UK's net zero goals due to the inclusion of post-combustion carbon capture technology. The project, a joint venture between BP and Equinor, will generate up to 860 megawatts of electricity and is expected to be operational in 2027.
