bp has agreed a statement of principles with the UK government and has signed front-end engineering design ( FEED ) contracts for its proposed H2Teesside project , reaching more important milestones as it progresses its design of the low-carbon hydrogen production plant .
Agreeing the statement of principles with DESNZ allows H2Teesside to enter the final stage of negotiations for a low-carbon hydrogen agreement , intended to support the production of low-carbon hydrogen on Teesside .
Technip Energies will deliver the FEED for the proposed blue hydrogen production facility with integrated carbon capture .
The contract includes establishing the EPC execution methodology , a robust schedule and project cost , which will be completed in 2025 .
Costain , the infrastructure solutions company , has been selected to design the pipeline infrastructure . The 31km pipeline distribution network would deliver hydrogen from the blue hydrogen production site to industry . Costain is expected to complete FEED in 2025 too .
As part of the East Coast Cluster , the integrated blue hydrogen production facility and hydrogen distribution pipeline intends to integrate with other decarbonisation projects in the region .
It could capture and send for storage over two million tonnes of CO 2 per year , which is the equivalent to capturing the emissions from the heating of one million UK households .
The project is targeting 1.2 GW of hydrogen production , which equates to more than 10 per cent of the UK ’ s 2030 hydrogen production target .
It aims to supply a diverse range of customers , including those already established in the region as well as new businesses attracted to low-carbon hydrogen produced at scale . bp ’ s plans for H2Teesside can further support economic development and regeneration in Teesside .
Helping to create jobs in both construction and operation phases , the project will also support local education , skills development and catalyse a highly-skilled UK-based hydrogen and CCS supply chain .
