LONDON – bp has reaffirmed its commitment to a new green hydrogen production facility in the northeast England that could supply up to 500 Mwe of hydrogen production ‎by 2030.

HyGreen Teesside would be developed in phases, but should start operating in 2025, with an initial ‎60 MWe of installed hydrogen production capacity. A final investment decision is due in 2023.‎

bp’s blue and green hydrogen projects in Teesside, and the proposed Net Zero Teesside ‎power project, will also support local skills development and the emergence of a skilled UK-based hydrogen ‎supply chain, the company said.‎

The combined 1.5 GW capacity of HyGreen Teesside and H2Teesside could deliver 30% of the UK ‎government’s target of 5 GW of hydrogen production by 2030, the company added, noting that industries in Teesside ‎account for over 5% of the UK’s industrial emissions.

bp has already announced a series of memoranda of understanding with potential industrial ‎customers for hydrogen in the Teesside area, including existing and planned operations.
