Power-to-liquids for a net-zero world.

Welcome to multi-award-winning Green Lizard, where cutting-edge technology meets world-class production for a low-carbon ecosystem.

Green Lizard Group, which is formed by the merger of North Tees Group and Green Lizard Technologies Ltd, provides green technological solutions to the chemical and fuels industry, solving problems today while incubating innovations for tomorrow.

Our work is helping find answers to intractable issues, such as low-cost green hydrogen, clean fuels, energy storage, carbon capture utilisation, and chemicals from sustainable feedstocks.

And on a privately owned and highly connected green chemicals and fuels 500 acre estate in North Tees, we will make the sustainable power-to-liquids products that help meet a net zero UK mission.

Our vision.

Power-to-liquids.

Power-to-liquid manufacture uses clean power to create green fuels and chemicals.

Put simply, it’s a low-carbon way to produce all the things we need to keep our lives running and economies flowing, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), marine fuel, diesel and petrol, together with a platform of green chemicals, such as Methanol.

We need to do this without using fossil fuels, and making good use of captured carbon (‘energy from waste’) and fluegases.

Quite simply, Power-to-liquids is the key to achieving a net carbon position for the UK transport and chemical industries.

The chemicals sector can be reinvigorated for a net zero future, using a single dominant feedstock to create all the chemicals traditionally made from carbon dioxide and hydrogen.

Power-to-liquids ecosystem.

The recent merger between Green Lizard Technologies and North Tees Group has brought together both the technology and the infrastructure to create a large-scale power-to-liquids ecosystem in the north east of England.

A privately owned green chemicals hub will incubate the critical components of sustainable fuel manufacture, on one of the region’s largest industrial sites – Green Lizard Estate. Five hundred acres of prime land will provide the proximity and infrastructure for efficient and interconnected production flows.

A highly attractive proposition for multi-billion pound inward investments, the hub will produce an estimated one million tonnes of critical fuels each year, such as the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) that UK government has rightly identified as a priority.

It will also produce all chemicals from a Carbon Dioxide platform – including plastics, solvents, battery electrolytes, and products for household and personal healthcare.

And it will be an enduring stimulus for economic activity and reindustrialisation in a region with a rich history of highly skilled talent and scientific expertise.

The site is uniquely positioned in the heart of the Teesside regional hydrogen hub, and close to the UK’s first carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) pipeline. It is easily accessible by road, rail and sea.

Creating and utilising e-fuel products will help the UK meet its Net Zero ambitions and reindustrialise the Tees Valley.

Beating heart: green power sustainable for the next century

Our ecosystem will be powered by dedicated, always-on nuclear energy.

We are working closely with Community Nuclear Power, an independent developer who will deploy a fleet of four small nuclear reactors on our site. These will provide dedicated offtake of power and thermal energy, always-on and unaffected by weather, to give our tenants and partners peace of mind for maximising their production.

CNP is working with Westinghouse, whose large-scale reactors can be found in around half the world’s fleet of nuclear power stations. This depth and breadth of experience underpins their new AP300 Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).

We know that, while SMRs will be much faster to getting ‘power on the bars’ than large-scale nuclear projects, it will take around eight to ten years to licence, construct and commission the fleet.

But the commercial demand for green chemicals and fuels is here and now. In the UK, for example, progressive targets are in place to mandate increasing production of SAF, such is its importance to our national low-carbon ambition. We must move at pace.

Therefore we are working already on alternative solutions for the first decade of clean power generation such as biomass, plasma gasification, and novel green hydrogen technologies.

Developing the power-to-liquids hub will attract tens of billions of pounds of inward investment and create tens of thousands of high-value jobs for generations.

World-class expertise.

Our leaders are highly experienced, influential, and well regarded in their fields. Click here to read more about our collective capability to deliver our power-to-liquids vision and help reindustrialise the region.

And we are developing world-class expertise for tomorrow too, because we know our vision is multi-generational. And so we are collaborating with university networks, here and overseas, to develop future technologies and the pipeline of talent to deliver them.
