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
Leveraging infrastructure for cost-effective, centralised blue hydrogen delivery
Synergies with the existing CATS terminal and industrial customers, and the reuse of the existing distribution infrastructure will ensure that H2NorthEast is a sustainable, economically viable means of delivering blue hydrogen at lower cost.
