What is proposed
H2NorthEast is a carbon capture and storage enabled blue hydrogen production facility of up to 1,065 MW thermal capacity. It aims to support cost-effective industrial decarbonisation across north-east England and the UK net zero ambition, create new jobs, safeguard existing jobs and attract private investment and growth back to Teesside. The proposed development comprises of a Hydrogen Production Facility (HPF), carbon dioxide capture and compression facilities and export connection, hydrogen distribution trunk pipelines, air separation unit or oxygen supply pipeline, electricity grid connection, water supply and treatment, wastewater treatment and disposal, wastewater and effluent pipelines, and other associated infrastructure. Phase 1 of the project will provide 355MW blue hydrogen to local industrial customers, with Phase 2 increasing the capacity to over 1GW. New hydrogen distribution trunk pipelines will connect the site to local industrial customers to support decarbonisation of their operations. The CO2 generated and captured by the H2NorthEast facility will be exported via a connection to the Northern Endurance Partnership CO2 gathering, compression and transportation pipeline infrastructure for permanent storage underground in the Southern North Sea.
