The Materials Processing Institute in Teesside has fully operationalized an innovative bulk storage facility for hydrogen, marking a significant milestone in their efforts towards industrial decarbonization. The facility is poised to be a crucial player in the exploration and adoption of hydrogen as a sustainable alternative fuel source, particularly for industrial equipment like furnaces. Green Lithium, a company at PD Ports in Teesside, will pioneer hydrogen trials to reduce the carbon footprint in the lithium refining process. Collaboration between Green Lithium and MPI aims to supply low-carbon lithium chemicals for European battery and electric vehicle markets. MPI's future plans include expanding hydrogen applications through the acquisition of an advanced furnace and an on-site green hydrogen generation system to enhance cost efficiency and reduce reliance on external suppliers. The institute's success is evident through projects like H2DRI and fuel switching studies, all supported by government initiatives focusing on sustainable technologies for industries. Dr. Hichem Hakka emphasizes the importance of MPI's hydrogen integration for decarbonization trials, positioning the institute as a leader in hydrogen technologies. Terry Walsh, CEO of MPI, underscores the institution's commitment to providing a platform for testing and upscaling hydrogen solutions, solidifying their leadership in decarbonization technologies and enhancing Teesside's reputation as a hub for hydrogen-based energy solutions.
