Technip Energies to design low-carbon hydrogen facility for bp in Teesside, UK

At a glance
  • H2Teesside targets 1.2 GW low-carbon hydrogen production.
  • The project aims to capture over 2 million tonnes of CO₂ annually.
  • Technip Energies awarded FEED contract for H2Teesside.
  • Final investment decision expected in 2025.

Project Overview

Technip Energies has been awarded the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract by bp for the H2Teesside project in the North East of the United Kingdom. H2Teesside is expected to be one of the UK’s largest low-carbon hydrogen production facilities, fully integrated with carbon capture technology.

Key Figures

The project targets 1.2 GW of low-carbon hydrogen production, which equates to more than 10% of the UK’s 2030 hydrogen production target. It aims to capture and store over two million tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to the emissions from heating one million UK households.

Economic Impact

H2Teesside could support economic development, job creation, and the regeneration of the Teesside region. The integrated hydrogen production and distribution pipeline will connect with other decarbonization projects in the East Coast Cluster.

Next Steps

In anticipation of a 2025 final investment decision, Technip Energies will deliver a comprehensive design utilizing their expertise in hydrogen and carbon capture technologies. If selected, they will provide the full Engineering Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC) package for the project.

Integration with Regional Projects

The CO₂ captured from the H2Teesside facility will be exported to the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) CO₂ gathering system, further integrating with regional decarbonization efforts.
