A huge power station with in-built carbon capture technology has secured planning permission - the first of its kind in the UK to do so.
SSE Thermal and Equinor's Keadby Three plant in North Lincolnshire - an integral part of the Zero Carbon Humber proposal - has received its development consent order in what has been described as a landmark decision. Business and Energy Secretary Grant Shapps has signed it off, following a recommendation from the Planning Inspectorate.
It comes with the 910MW proposal - set to capture 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 a year in the generating process - currently in the due diligence stage of the Government's Cluster Sequencing Process.
