Air Products and VPI to develop blue hydrogen project
H3 development will join growing hydrogen and CCS cluster in the UK’s Humber region
Industrial gases firm Air Products and power generator VPI have signed an agreement to develop an 800MW blue hydrogen production facility, called H3, in Immingham in the northeast of the UK. The facility would be the third blue hydrogen plant in the Humber region, following the submission of plans by Norway’s Equinor for its H2H Saltend and H2H Production 2 project. The majority of the hydrogen produced would be used to decarbonise the third train at VPI’s planned 1.2GW gas-fired combined-heat-and-power plant at Immingham. VPI is planning to use carbon capture and storage (CCS) to decarbonise the production of the first two trains. “We are harnessing the expertise of the world’s larges
