In October 2022, bp submitted a bid for its proposed large-scale green hydrogen production facility, HyGreen Teesside, to the UK government’s Hydrogen Business Model and Net Zero Hydrogen Fund. The project targets hydrogen production in 2025 with an initial capacity of 80 MW, before expanding to 500 MW by 2030.
H2Teesside is bp’s world-scale hydrogen project that aims to produce 1GW of CCUS-enabled blue hydrogen and start-up in 2027. It will capture and send for storage up to 2 million tonnes of CO2 per year via the Northern Endurance Partnership. The project is one of 20 which has been shortlisted for phase-2 of the UK government’s CCUS cluster sequencing process.
