It will be stored there permanently, preventing its release into the atmosphere.The exact proposed layout of the site is to be decided, but it is approximately 36 hectares.
The main document filed with North Lincolnshire Council by RWE states a new, high voltage electrical connection will be required, as well as a natural gas pipeline.The electrical connection will either link up to the existing National Grid Grimsby West substation, or a new substation part of the proposed Grimsby to Walpole overhead line.RWE is a partner in the Viking Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) scheme. This proposes a 55km onshore CO2 pipeline that would go through the Stallingborough site.
RWE’s preferred option is to link up the proposed power station’s CO2 emissions to that. The Viking CCS project is expected to get permission in spring 2025.Up to two million tonnes of CO2 a year would be captured at the power station. This is the equivalent of 400,000 petrol cars.
A legally required consultation is planned for next year, when permission from the Secretary of State will be applied for.
Should permission be granted, construction could start in 2028. It would be expected to take three years to be completed.Ms Rigg said the war was a scary period in her life to live through, but there were moments of fun among the despair.
