United Kingdom – Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has inked a license agreement with Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) to spearhead CO2 capture technology for a low-carbon hydrogen production endeavor in northwest England.
The project, dubbed Hydrogen Production Plant 2 (HPP2), will be a cornerstone of the HyNet carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) cluster. The primary goal of HPP2 is to establish a hydrogen production facility at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex, leveraging advanced CO2 capture technology to minimize carbon emissions. With an annual hydrogen production capacity of nearly 230,000 tons, HPP2 aims to set a new standard for low-carbon hydrogen plants in the UK.
CO2 capture – hydrogen integration
MHI’s “Advanced KM CDR Process” will serve as the cornerstone of HPP2, facilitating efficient CO2 capture and storage. Developed in collaboration with Kansai Electric Power, this technology underscores MHI’s commitment to pioneering sustainable solutions for carbon reduction. By integrating CO2 capture into the hydrogen production process, HPP2 exemplifies the marriage of engineering with environmental stewardship.
By harnessing low-carbon hydrogen production at scale, the UK can significantly reduce its carbon footprint while fostering economic growth and energy security.
