Oil major contracts Technip Energies to install hydrogen plant as plans for wider hub project in Western Australia take step
BP has advanced its plans to develop hydrogen production at its Kwinana site in Western Australia, with the award of a significant engineering contract and the completion of a feasibility study. The oil major has awarded French technology company Technip Energies a contract for the engineering, procurement and fabrication of a hydrogen production unit. The plant will use Technip’s proprietary SMIR technology to produce hydrogen either from natural gas or from biogas generated by BP’s Kwinana biorefinery. It will have a production capacity of 33,000cm/hr. The precise value of the contract was not disclosed but Technip said it would fall within a range of €50–250m ($54–272m). 143t/d – Ba
