MPI's Revolutionary Hydrogen Facility: Pioneering Sustainable Energy Solutions in Teesside
Key Ideas
  • MPI has successfully commissioned a hydrogen bulk storage facility and transport network in Teesside, advancing industrial decarbonisation efforts.
  • Green Lithium will benefit from MPI's hydrogen trials to decarbonise its lithium refinery processes, supporting low-carbon supply chains for EVs.
  • MPI's acquisition of a multi-fuel furnace and plans for on-site hydrogen generation demonstrate a commitment to sustainable technologies and operational efficiency.
  • Leading projects like H2DRI and fuel switching studies position MPI as a key player in green steelmaking and advancing decarbonisation in the UK industry.
The Materials Processing Institute (MPI) has achieved a major milestone with the successful commissioning of its hydrogen bulk storage facility and transport network in Teesside. This development enhances MPI's support for industrial decarbonisation by facilitating innovation and scaling up low-carbon hydrogen-based technologies. The facility, tailored for various industrial applications including furnaces, will enable clients to access hydrogen for exploring sustainable fuel options. Green Lithium is set to be the first beneficiary, utilizing hydrogen trials to reduce carbon impact in its lithium refinery at Teesside. MPI's expansion plans include acquiring a multi-fuel furnace for materials heat treatment and integrating on-site green hydrogen generation to enhance operational efficiency. MPI's involvement in key projects like H2DRI and fuel switching studies, funded by the government, showcases its leadership in driving green steelmaking and decarbonisation. The collaboration with Green Lithium and other industry partners reflects Teesside's growing prominence as a hub for hydrogen-based energy solutions, supported by state-of-the-art facilities and innovative programmes funded by Innovate UK.
