Our ambitions for Teesside

Delivering economic benefits for Teesside

Together, bp’s plans for H2Teesside, NZT Power and NEP can help further support economic development and regeneration in Teesside. Creating jobs in both construction and operation phases, the projects will help support local education, skills development and catalyze a highly skilled UK-based hydrogen and CCS supply chain.

Teaming up to develop green skills

  • bp provided £50,000 in funding for the development of the new Clean Energy Education Hub at Redcar & Cleveland College, specialising in clean energy and renewable industry training for school leavers, apprentices and adult learners.
  • bp is supporting the Redcar & Cleveland College Teesside Clean Energy Technician scholarship, a bespoke two-year engineering programme for school leavers. The first cohort of 21 scholars began their first year in 2023 and in October 2024, a second cohort of 20 new students – including 10 female scholars – were welcomed onto the programme.
  • In addition, bp is collaborating with Middlesbrough College to develop a New Energy Apprenticeship Scheme, training operations technicians in the skills needed for Teesside’s low-carbon future. bp will work with the college to offer insights and guidance on shaping the programme curriculum to meet industry standards and requirements.
  • Local partnerships like these, anchored around skills development and social mobility, are helping us create deep connections and can support Teesside’s transformation into a world-class hydrogen and CCS hub.
