Energy and environment
The energy and environment sector is an important part of the future economy of Stockton-on-Tees and the wider region.
Renewable energy businesses
Stockton-on-Tees has many renewable energy businesses that are well placed within the Tees Valley to lead in developing an export-focused and net zero future for the region.
The UK's largest supplier of biomass fuel is in operation in the Borough at the Teesside Biomass Plant in Port Clarence. Greenergy, Europe's largest manufacturer of biodiesel from waste, is also just along the coast at Seal Sands.
Carbon reduction and climate change
Policies and targets for carbon reduction and climate change are encouraging fast-paced changes in technologies and industries associated with energy production, use and storage.
The skills from the oil and gas industry located in Stockton-on-Tees are perfect to adapt to support the growing renewable energy market and emerging low carbon technologies.
We are committed to the reduction in carbon emissions promised as part of the Climate Change Act, with many businesses that are part of the 'Net Zero Teesside' campaign calling Stockton-on-Tees home.
Energy generation in Stockton-on-Tees from wind, solar and hydrogen has seen millions of pounds of investment in recent years. Projects include Lambs Hill Wind Farm in Stillington and new developments such as the High Meadow Solar Farm in Carlton and Protium's 40MW green hydrogen plant on the Wilton Universal site.
The expertise of our manufacturing and engineering base means that Stockton-on-Tees businesses can deliver renewable energy and carbon reduction projects such as hydrogen fuel, offshore wind and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCUS) technologies.
