Hydrogen
The UK Government has set ambitious targets for low-carbon hydrogen production and wants to see it used to help overcome the challenges of decarbonisation.
bp is investing in low carbon blue and green hydrogen
To help meet the government’s target to produce 10GW of low-carbon hydrogen by 2030, and for hydrogen to become a secure, low-carbon replacement for fossil fuels, bp is designing and developing hydrogen hubs in the UK.
- In the Tees Valley, H2Teesside is targeting 1.2GW of hydrogen production, equating to over 10% of the UK government’s hydrogen target of 10GW by 2030. Additionally, the project could support and preserve hundreds of jobs, during both project construction and operation.
- Our plans for the Aberdeen Hydrogen Hub – through bp Aberdeen Hydrogen Energy Limited, a joint venture with Aberdeen City Council – could initially produce enough green hydrogen to fuel 25 buses a day and a range of other fleet vehicles or customers. The Hub has the capacity to scale up in a second or third phase in line with the potential growth in hydrogen demand. Phase 2 could see production scaled up to supply over three tonnes per day of green hydrogen for road, rail and freight and marine, by 2030. It could also see hydrogen supply for heat in buildings. Phase three could scale up further to supply hydrogen for export.
Our hydrogen projects could provide low-carbon energy to industry and residential homes, be used as a fuel for heavy transport and support the creation of sustainable fuels, including bio and e-fuels, as we progress towards net zero by 2050.
