Hydrogen Project HyNCREASE in Germany Qualifies for European Grant
BP is planning a new large-scale green hydrogen production facility, HyGreen Teesside, in the North East of England that could deliver up to 500 Mwe (megawatt electrical input) of hydrogen production by 2030.
The company is aiming to start production by 2025, with an initial phase of some 60MWe of installed hydrogen production capacity. A final investment decision on the project is expected in 2023.
Hygreen Teesside is the latest addition to bp’s integrated UK business portfolio, which includes 3GW gross of offshore wind in the Irish Sea, delivering 16,000 UK charging points by 2030 and bp and Aberdeen city’s partnership deal, an official statement said.
bp states that it is working with industry, local administration such as Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) and the UK government to increase the pace of decarbonization in transport. The company expects its blue and green hydrogen projects in Teesside, together with the proposed Net Zero Teesside power project, to support economic development and regeneration in Teesside.
Louise Jacobsen Plutt, bp’s senior vice president for hydrogen and CCUS, said: “Low carbon hydrogen will be essential in decarbonizing hard-to-abate industrial sectors including heavy transport. Together, HyGreen and H2Teesside can help transform Teesside into the UK’s green heart, strengthening its people, communities and businesses. This is exactly the type of energy we want to create and more importantly deliver.”
The combined 1.5GW capacity of HyGreen Teesside and H2Teesside could deliver 30% of the UK government’s target of developing 5GW of hydrogen production by 2030, says the company. Industries in Teesside account for over 5% of the UK’s industrial emissions and the region is home to five of the country’s top 25 emitters.
Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said: “We’re quickly becoming the go-to place for innovation in the hydrogen sector, thanks to our status as the UK’s first Hydrogen Transport Hub and bp’s commitment with other schemes, such as Net Zero Teesside and H2Teesside.”
