BOC will work with existing contractors to finalise the project’s Front End Engineering and Design study, while BOC’s parent company, Linde, will supply air separation units and the technology to capture carbon.

Britain sees CCS as a key technology to reduce carbon emissions from the power generation sector and is supporting the development of the technology through a £1 bn competition, which the Don valley project is participating in.
