Bp plc has announced the final investment decision for the 'Lingen Green Hydrogen' project in Germany, marking a significant milestone in the development of green hydrogen on an industrial scale. The project, supported by the IPCEI program, plans to build a plant next to the bp refinery in Lingen to produce up to 11,000 tons of green hydrogen annually. This initiative is aimed at supporting the decarbonization of production processes and contributing to ambitious energy transition goals in Germany.
The project received funding under the IPCEI Hy2Infra wave, emphasizing its strategic importance in building a sustainable hydrogen economy and meeting Europe's climate objectives. Scheduled for construction in 2025 and expected to be commissioned in 2027, the 'Lingen Green Hydrogen' project is part of bp's commitment to driving lower-emissions hydrogen projects globally in the coming decade. This investment signifies a collaborative effort with governments and a step towards a lower-emissions hydrogen future, creating value for the region, partners, customers, and bp as a whole in the journey towards decarbonization and sustainable energy solutions.
