BP plans large-scale ammonia cracker at Wilhelmshaven
Oil major would use existing infrastructure at German port to send hydrogen to consumers in Ruhr industrial region
BP is studying the feasibility of deploying a large-scale cracker at the northern German port of Wilhelmshaven to produce hydrogen from imported green ammonia. The “industry leading” cracker could produce up to 130,000t/yr of low-carbon hydrogen from 2028, using ammonia shipped in from BP’s green hydrogen production plants around the world. “The development of this import facility complements BP’s global hydrogen project portfolio, as we develop a presence in a number of potential hydrogen and ammonia export locations in the Middle East, Africa and Australia, which could supply part of the European demand in the coming years,” says Felipe Arbelaez, senior vice-president for hydrogen and CCS
