Milestones Achieved for bp's H2Teesside Project in UK
Key Ideas
- bp has reached significant milestones in the design of the low-carbon hydrogen production plant in Teesside through agreements with the UK government and Technip Energies.
- The H2Teesside project aims to produce 1.2 GW of hydrogen, targeting 10% of the UK's 2030 hydrogen production goal, with plans to capture over two million tonnes of CO2 annually.
- Costain has been selected to design the 31km pipeline infrastructure for hydrogen distribution, supporting industrial users and contributing to the region's decarbonisation efforts.
- The project not only focuses on environmental benefits but also on creating jobs, developing skills, and catalyzing a UK-based hydrogen and CCS supply chain, driving economic growth in Teesside.
bp has made significant progress in its H2Teesside project by signing a statement of principles with the UK government and initiating front-end engineering design (FEED) contracts. The collaboration with DESNZ and Technip Energies paves the way for final negotiations on a low-carbon hydrogen agreement in Teesside. The project, targeting 1.2 GW of hydrogen production, is a key part of bp's energy transition strategy. The integrated blue hydrogen production facility and pipeline infrastructure are expected to capture and store over two million tonnes of CO2 annually, contributing to the UK's decarbonisation goals. Costain's role in designing the 31km pipeline network highlights the focus on creating a robust hydrogen distribution system. The project's emphasis on job creation, skills development, and economic regeneration in Teesside aligns with its broader goal of supporting the local community and industry. With a strong commitment to decarbonisation, the project aims to be a catalyst for the development of a low-carbon hydrogen economy in the UK.
