H2Teesside
As one of the UK’s largest low carbon hydrogen production facilities, H2Teesside aims to bring jobs, customers, and investment to Teesside.
Illustrative animation showing how the proposed blue hydrogen facility, H2Teesside, could look and function.
H2Teesside aims to be one of the largest blue hydrogen production facilities in the UK, delivering economic growth for Teesside and providing domestically‐produced low carbon hydrogen the UK needs.
- Targeting 1.2GW of hydrogen production – equating to over 10% of the UK government’s hydrogen target of 10GW by 2030.
- Aiming to displace existing natural gas consumption by industrial emitters in Teesside, while capturing and sending for secure long-term storage approximately two million tonnes of CO₂ per year.
- Supplying hydrogen to a diverse range of customers, including those already established in the region as well as new businesses.
You can find out more about progress of the proposed project on the next tab or on the Planning Inspectorate’s website.
Projects benefits
- Jobs – supporting and preserving hundreds of jobs, during both project construction and operation, and helping to bring high-quality and stable employment to Teesside.
- Local industry – enabling existing businesses to decarbonise and attracting new companies to the region, helping to support the local supply chain and future growth for the local economy.
- Skills & Education – investing in local green skills programmes and partnerships, ensuring that local people have the opportunity to build the skills needed to access lower-carbon jobs in the region.
- Social Mobility – working with local schools and colleges to boost career opportunities for young people in the region, helping Teesside’s young talent to reach its full potential.
- Technology – working with innovative tech leaders like BASF and Johnson Matthey, helping to bolster the region’s reputation as a national hub for tech innovation.
- Nature – rewilding local green areas, helping to create and enhance existing natural habitats in the region.
Our Vision
- H2Teesside is one of a number of transformative projects that is developing in Teesside. The low carbon energy produced by bp’s proposed projects in the region will play an important role in delivering on the country’s bold ambitions to boost energy security and achieve net zero.
- Through the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP), we are helping build the infrastructure needed to safely capture, transport and store CO₂ from a range of power, hydrogen and industrial businesses in Teesside and the Humber who together make up the East Coast Cluster (ECC). The ECC aims to remove up to 27 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions a year by 2030.
- bp is also providing operator services for Net Zero Teesside Power which aims to be one of the world’s first commercial scale, gas-fired power station with carbon capture technology, capable of capturing up to two million tonnes of CO2 a year.
