bp has let a front-end engineering design (FEED) contract to Technip Energies for the proposed H2Teesside project in northeast United Kingdom. H2Teesside is expected to be one of the UK’s largest low-carbon hydrogen production facilities with integrated carbon capture technology.
As part of the East Coast Cluster, the integrated H2Teesside hydrogen production and hydrogen distribution pipeline will integrate with other decarbonization projects in the region. H2Teesside aims to produce 1.2 Gw of blue hydrogen (more than 10% of the UK’s 2023 hydrogen production target) starting in 2027. The plan is for the plant to capture and store up to 2 million tonnes/year of CO2 through the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP).
“These agreements mark further critical milestones for H2Teesside as the project continues to move towards EPC contracts and then construction,” said Andy Lane, vice-president for hydrogen and CCUS at bp, UK.
A final investment decision on the project is expected in 2025.
