The project has been proposed by [[Teeside Low Carbon]], a consortium comprising [[BOC]], [[GDF SUEZ]], [[Premier Oil]] and [[Progressive Energy]]. The consortium has stated that it expects that it will "make an investment decision in 2014, subject to appropriate planning and other regulatory approvals."<ref>Progressive Energy, [http://www.progressive-energy.com/index.htm "Welcome"], Progressive Energy website, accessed October 2012.</ref>
The station would be built on a brownfield site, and use [[integrated gasification combined cycle]] (IGCC) technology to generate electricity. The CCS technology used in the power station would be of the pre-combustion type, and proposes to capture up to 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year. The CO2 would be transported via a pipeline, potentially to saline formations in the North Sea. The pipeline is planned to include captured CO2 from other CCS projects. The Eston Grange project is planned for commercial operation by 2018.<ref>[http://www.globalccsinstitute.com/project/teesside-low-carbon-formerly-eston-grange-ccs-plant "Teesside Low Carbon (formerly Eston Grange CCS Plant),"] Global CCS Institute, accessed April 2014.</ref>
