Technip Energies has been awarded the front-end engineering design (FEED) contract by BP for the H2Teesside project in the northeast of the UK. H2Teesside is expected to be one of the UK’s largest low-carbon hydrogen production facilities, fully integrated with carbon capture technology.
As part of the FEED study, Technip will deliver a comprehensive design of a large-scale project integrating hydrogen and carbon capture technologies. Technip says the project is targeting 1.2 GW of low-carbon hydrogen production, which equates to more than 10% of the UK’s 2030 hydrogen production target. It also could capture and send for storage more than 2 two million tonnes of CO2 per year, which is the equivalent to capturing the emissions from the heating of 1 million UK households.
“Being selected for BP’s H2Teesside project highlights Technip Energies’ proven experience in working as a technology integrator on large-scale projects,” said Mario Tommaselli, senior vice president for gas and low-carbon energies at Technip. “By leveraging our extensive expertise in hydrogen and carbon capture technologies, we are well-positioned to deliver innovative at-scale solutions that align with the UK’s ambitious decarbonization targets.”
As part of the East Coast Cluster, the integrated H2Teesside hydrogen production and hydrogen distribution pipeline will integrate with other decarbonization projects in the region. The CO2 captured from the H2Teesside facility will be exported to the Northern Endurance Partnership CO2 gathering system.
“These agreements mark further critical milestones for H2Teesside as the project continues to move towards EPC [engineering, procurement, and construction] contracts and then construction,” said Andy Lane, vice president for hydrogen and carbon capture, use, and storage at BP, UK. “The project could play a critical role in decarbonizing industry on Teesside, helping to transform the region into a leading hydrogen hub and kickstart the UK’s low-carbon hydrogen economy.”
