Newly Announced Teesside Clean Tech Commercial Plant to Create Hundreds of Jobs
by Matthew Neville (Bdaily) … NOVAONE will be the “UK’s first bioethanol facility of its type”, with construction expected to begin in early 2023.

The creation of this facility will begin to meet the “urgent needs” of decarbonising the transport sector, including aviation, and agricultural sectors. It also complements work taking place at Teesside International Airport to support its low carbon ambitions.
The five-acre plot benefits from Sembcorp’s Wilton International infrastructure, utilities, and services, located within the Teesside Freeport zone. Development and construction of the facility will create hundreds of jobs during the construction phase and approximately 45 full-time, green, local and highly skilled jobs once in operation.
Nova Pangaea recently announced the signing of a Joint Development Agreement with British Airways and LanzaJet to accelerate the UK’s flagship SAF and carbon removal initiative, Project Speedbird. The company is leading the UK’s decarbonisation efforts across several sectors and bolstering the UK’s energy security by boosting domestic production. READ MORE
