The Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) is developing onshore and offshore infrastructure needed to transport CO2 from carbon capture projects across Teesside and the Humber – collectively known as the East Coast Cluster - to secure storage under the North Sea.
The infrastructure is crucial to achieving net zero in the UK’s most carbon intensive industrial regions.
NEP, via the Endurance saline aquifer and adjacent stores, has access to up to 1 billion tonnes of CO₂ storage capacity.
NEP is in an incorporated joint venture established solely to develop and operate CO₂ transportation and storage infrastructure on behalf of the NEP Shareholders – bp, Equinor and TotalEnergies.

NEP is developing the Teesside Carbon Capture Pipeline, the infrastructure to transport CO₂ from industrial carbon capture projects across Teesside to a compression facility and out to the Endurance carbon store via an offshore pipeline.
NEP is also progressing development work for the Humber Carbon Capture Pipeline - the proposed infrastructure that would transport CO2 from carbon capture projects in the Humber region to secure offshore storage under the North Sea. The infrastructure would enable a connection to carbon capture projects in the Humber selected by DESNZ through the East Coast Cluster expansion process.

The Northern Endurance Partnership enables the East Coast Cluster, one of the first two carbon capture, usage, and storage (CCUS) clusters to be taken forward by the UK Government.
Covering the industrial powerhouse regions of Teesside, and the Humber, the East Coast Cluster includes a diverse mix of carbon capture projects, including industrial carbon capture, low-carbon hydrogen production, negative emissions power, and power with carbon capture.
Carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) is a process which captures carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes and power generation and transports them to secure storage areas. The Committee on Climate Change, the independent advisor to UK Government, has stated that CCUS is a necessity not an option to meet net zero for the UK.
Prospective network users seeking to apply for network capacity and existing users seeking to apply for additional network capacity must first make that application through the Government-led Cluster Sequencing Process.
Following selection under this process, applicants are then invited to enter the connection process under the CCS Network Code by completing and submitting a Connection Application Form.
Technical information about the network reasonably required by prospective network users is available on request.
bp has been backing Britain for more than a century – powering journeys, businesses, and homes. We’re investing to help build an energy system that is secure, supports net zero and delivers value.
While we’re mainly in oil and gas today, we’re transforming into an integrated energy company, working on plans to expand our bp pulse EV charging network, develop new offshore wind, solar, hydrogen and carbon capture projects and investing in North Sea oil and gas.
In 2023 bp contributed an estimated £17.1 billion to UK GDP, supported a total of 81,000 jobs and spent £5.3 billion with UK suppliers.
Equinor is a major international energy company, headquartered in Norway, employing over 22,000 people across thirty-six countries.
Equinor is the largest single supplier of energy to the UK, where it has operated for over 40 years. It provides 25% of the UK’s gas requirements – enough to heat eight million British homes every day.
The company has bold ambitions to be a net zero business by 2050, with half of its capital expenditure pledged to be invested in low carbon and renewables projects by 2030. This includes a focus on carbon capture & storage and hydrogen projects and infrastructure in Teesside and the Humber.
Equinor is the leading commercial CCS operator in Europe, with over 25 years of experience capturing carbon emissions from industrial sources and storing them under the Norwegian continental shelf.
TotalEnergies is a global, integrated energy company that produces and markets energies: oil and biofuels, natural gas and green gases, renewables and electricity. Our more than 100,000 employees are committed to provide as many people as possible with energy that is more reliable, more affordable and more sustainable. We place sustainability at the heart of our strategy, projects and operations.
We have been present in the UK for more than 60 years and are one of the UK’s leading energy companies operating around 30% of the UK’s gas production. Our renewable UK portfolio includes 1.1 GW of gross installed capacity and 4.5 GW under development.
Backed by core competencies in large-scale project management, gas processing and geosciences, we are on track to enable significant decarbonization of hard-to-abate industrial businesses through projects including Northern Lights in Norway, Northern Endurance Partnership in the UK and Aramis in the Netherlands.
The Commercial Analyst will play a central role in the economic evaluation of major CCS Transport & Storage infrastructure investments. This includes developing robust investment appraisal cash flow models, analysing cost drivers, supporting commercial strategy, and enabling evidence‑based decision‑making for multi‑billion‑pound CCS assets.
The role provides core analytical support to the entire team, ensuring commercial, regulatory, and technical assumptions are integrated into consistent economic frameworks that inform FID decisions, stakeholder reporting and long‑term planning.
The Contracting & Procurement (C&P) Manager will lead NEP’s contracting and procurement activities, ensuring robust processes, compliance, and value delivery across the Humber Onshore Major Capital Project and wider NEP expansion programme. This full-time, permanent role is based in Teesside and reports to the Onshore Humber Project Manager / Expansion Manager.
This role is pivotal in establishing NEP’s procurement function, managing end-to-end sourcing, contract award, and supplier performance, and providing expert commercial advice across projects. The C&P Manager will work closely with internal teams, joint venture shareholders, and external suppliers to secure the goods and services required for the safe, efficient, and cost-effective delivery of onshore and offshore infrastructure.
