Green Lithium Refining has announced a partnership with EDF to procure hydrogen from the Tees Green Hydrogen project for use in its lithium refinery at Teesside, Northeast England. The project, led by EDF Renewables UK and Hynamics, plans to install a 7.5MW electrolyser to produce green hydrogen by 2026, with future capacity expansion up to 300MW. EDF has secured funding from the UK Government's Net Zero Hydrogen Fund and aims to enhance local lithium supply security by refining lithium domestically. The collaboration is expected to support the energy transition, reduce CO2 footprints, and help meet the rising demand for low-carbon lithium chemicals for electric vehicles. The initiative also contributes to the decarbonization of European battery and EV supply chains. Despite the lack of specific details, the partnership is seen as a positive development in the nascent hydrogen industry. Other companies like BP are advancing low-carbon hydrogen projects in Teesside as part of efforts to decarbonize local industries through projects like the East Coast Cluster, which includes carbon capture and storage initiatives.
