Making low carbon hydrogen at scale a reality on Teesside
Blue hydrogen is produced from natural gas with the resultant carbon emissions captured at the point of production and then securely stored.
Hydrogen is a clean fuel. When it burns, it reacts with oxygen to create water. By capturing the emissions associated with the creation of blue hydrogen, it represents a pragmatic and cost-effective net zero solution in the short to medium term, whilst infrastructure is put in place to create hydrogen from renewable sources.
Most significantly, the technology required to produce blue hydrogen at the industrial scale required is available now, compared to green hydrogen from renewable sources which is currently limited by small unit size, grid connections and higher investment and operating costs.
H2NorthEast: delivering low carbon hydrogen
Potential to produce 1GW of low carbon hydrogen
Designed to capture up to 2 million tonnes of CO2 annually
Decarbonising energy-intensive industries
Efficient, cost-effective, centralised blue hydrogen delivery
H2NorthEast would be co-located with the CATS terminal in the heart of industrial Teesside, surrounded by existing gas distribution infrastructure, and industrial customers looking to decarbonise their operations. It would be a centralised plant, capturing CO2 at the point of production, making H2NorthEast a sustainable and economically viable means of supplying low carbon hydrogen, at lower cost, across the region.
