Materials Processing Institute Leads Hydrogen Drive for Industrial Decarbonisation in Teesside
Key Ideas
  • MPI completes the commissioning of a hydrogen storage facility and transport network in Teesside to support industrial decarbonisation and drive innovation in low-carbon hydrogen-based technologies.
  • The facility enables the exploration and implementation of sustainable alternative fuel sources for industrial equipment, with Green Lithium being the first to benefit by launching hydrogen trials to decarbonise its lithium ore calcination process.
  • MPI plans to expand its hydrogen applications with the acquisition of a multi-fuel bogie hearth furnace and aims to integrate an on-site green hydrogen generation system to enhance operational cost-efficiency.
  • Through successful projects like the H2DRI project and fuel switch feasibility study, MPI solidifies its position as a leader in hydrogen technologies and provides essential support to industries striving for sustainable energy solutions and decarbonisation.
The Materials Processing Institute (MPI) has completed the commissioning of its hydrogen bulk storage facility and transport network in Teesside, marking a significant step towards supporting industrial decarbonisation and driving innovation in low-carbon hydrogen-based technologies. The facility is designed to power various industrial equipment, such as preheat and reheat furnaces, offering clients access to hydrogen for exploring and implementing sustainable fuel sources. Green Lithium will be the first to benefit from the facility, conducting hydrogen trials to decarbonise its lithium ore calcination process. MPI plans to further its hydrogen applications by acquiring a multi-fuel bogie hearth furnace and integrating an on-site green hydrogen generation system to improve operational efficiency. The institute's past successes include projects like the H2DRI project and a fuel switch feasibility study, positioning MPI as a leader in hydrogen technologies and a key supporter of industries transitioning towards sustainable energy solutions. With funding from programs like Innovate UK's PRISM and EconoMISER, MPI's hydrogen facility strengthens Teesside's position as a hub for hydrogen-based energy solutions, showcasing its commitment to advancing decarbonisation efforts in the region.
