In a statement published late last week, Chevron stated that the companies will begin front-end engineering and design processes immediately, with the hopes of securing a final investment decision in 2022. If the project runs to plan, the plant could come online in Mendota this decade, capturing some 300,000 tonnes of CO2e every year.

Energy bosses have been asked for more details of proposed changes to the plans for a new nuclear power station on the Suffolk coast.
