BP has secured funding to advance the development of a groundbreaking green hydrogen plant at its Lingen refinery in Germany, marking the first fully owned and operated green hydrogen facility by the U.K. oil major. The project aims to produce 10-11 kilotons of green hydrogen annually through a 100-MW electrolyzer powered by renewable electricity sourced through a wind power purchase agreement. The green hydrogen generated will be utilized at the Lingen refinery and supplied to local industries like steel and chemical producers for decarbonization. Despite the initial collaboration with Orsted A/S, which was later withdrawn, BP has proceeded with the project's expansion to a 100-MW capacity with support from the Lower Saxony regional government and Germany’s Economy Ministry as part of the EU's hydrogen economy initiative. This initiative is a significant milestone for BP and the German energy sector, contributing to a cleaner future and industrial decarbonization. The project surpasses similar initiatives like Shell's electrolyzer at the Rheinland refinery and demonstrates BP's commitment to sustainable energy solutions. BP's foray into green hydrogen extends to its Castellon refinery in Spain, emphasizing its dedication to sustainability. With a history of over 70 years, the Lingen refinery's transition to green hydrogen represents a new era for BP, positioning them at the forefront of the energy transition in Europe. The project is crucial for developing a hydrogen economy and facilitating a sustainable energy transition in line with Europe's decarbonization goals.
