Zero Carbon Humber is part of the East Coast Cluster
Uniper and Shell move forward with blue hydrogen project
Humber Hub Blue project includes plans for a 720MW steam methane reforming unit fitted with carbon capture and storage
German utility Uniper and Shell are advancing plans to produce blue hydrogen at Uniper's Killingholme power station site in eastern England. The Humber Hub Blue project includes plans for a 720MW steam methane reforming unit fitted with carbon capture and storage (CCS) and is part of the Zero Carbon Humber industrial cluster. In October, the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy announced that the East Coast Cluster, of which Zero Carbon Humber forms a part, was one of two successful national bids in the first track of its £1bn ($1.35bn) carbon capture and storage competition.
