Honeywell to Power Automation for Major UK Carbon Capture Hubs

LONDON — December 4, 2025 — Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) announced that Technip Energies picked the company to deliver integrated automation and safety technology for two of the United Kingdom’s flagship carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiatives. Honeywell’s role will bring modern automation capabilities to the Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power) and Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) projects, both key pillars in the UK’s drive toward net-zero emissions.

Unified Automation for Cleaner Power

Honeywell will install its Integrated Control and Safety Systems (ICSS) across both sites. This architecture ties process control and safety together in a single system, giving operators a consistent, real-time view of plant performance and hazards. By integrating these functions under one platform, the technology is designed to boost reliability and safety while streamlining day-to-day plant operations.

The NZT Power project, based in Teesside, aims to be the world’s first gas-fired power station equipped with carbon capture technology. Once running, it will generate more than 740 megawatts of flexible, low-carbon electricity — enough to power over one million homes each year. The captured carbon dioxide (CO₂) — up to two million tonnes annually — will move into the regional transport and storage network.

Meanwhile, the NEP initiative focuses on capturing and storing CO₂ from multiple industrial facilities across the East Coast Cluster, spanning Teesside and the Humber regions. This project will build the UK’s first CO₂ transportation and offshore storage infrastructure beneath the North Sea. Honeywell’s automation technology will integrate with the pipelines and subterranean storage network that links emitters across the region.

Strategic Importance for the UK

These projects represent a major step forward in the UK’s decarbonization strategy. By enabling the safe capture, movement, and storage of CO₂ at large scale, they aim to sharply cut emissions from heavy industry and power generation. Officials and industry leaders say the infrastructure could become a global benchmark for future CCS deployments.

Technip Energies, supported by partners GE Vernova and Balfour Beatty, leads the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) efforts across both programs. Their work brings together expertise in energy, infrastructure, and industrial systems to deliver these highly complex facilities.

Honeywell’s Role in the Energy Transition

Menzo Bijmolen, Vice President and General Manager for EMEA Industrial Automation Projects & Automation Solutions at Honeywell, emphasized the importance of advanced automation in large-scale carbon capture deployment. He noted that automation systems not only support safety and efficiency but also help operators maximize uptime and respond quickly to changing conditions on site.

Honeywell’s participation reflects its broader commitment to enabling the global energy transition with digital and automation technologies. With roughly 4,000 employees and more than 20 sites across the UK, the company brings deep local expertise and a strong technology foundation to support the country’s Clean Power 2030 goals.

In addition to these CCS projects, Honeywell continues to work across multiple sectors to help organizations reduce emissions, improve operational performance, and navigate the shift to cleaner energy systems worldwide.
