ITM Power to Supply Electrolysis Technology for Uniper's Humber H2ub Project in Killingholme
Key Ideas
- ITM Power has been selected to provide electrolysis technology for Uniper's Humber H2ub (Green) project in Killingholme, contributing to decarbonization efforts.
- The Humber H2ub project involves the supply of green hydrogen to Phillips 66's Humber Refinery, with plans for a 120MW capacity expandable to over 300MW.
- Uniper aims for a final investment decision in 2026 and project completion by 2029, aligning with the UK government's Hydrogen Allocation Round 2 requirements.
- The broader Humber H2ub scheme includes the production of blue hydrogen, with efforts focused on developing innovative energy transition initiatives in the region.
ITM Power has been chosen to supply six 20MW Poseidon core electrolysis process modules for Uniper's Humber H2ub (Green) project in Killingholme, North Lincolnshire. This selection follows the UK government's announcement of shortlisting Humber H2ub under the Hydrogen Allocation Round 2 (HAR2) initiative. The project, with an initial capacity of 120MW expandable to over 300MW, aims to provide green hydrogen to Phillips 66's Humber Refinery for decarbonization purposes. Uniper is targeting a final investment decision in 2026, with project completion planned by 2029. ITM Power's CEO highlighted the project's impact on decarbonization and job creation, emphasizing the efficiency and scalability of the Poseidon technology. Uniper's collaboration with ITM Power signifies a significant milestone, with plans for further engineering development. The project is part of Uniper's broader Energy Transformation Hubs, focusing on clean hydrogen initiatives. Additionally, the Humber H2ub scheme includes the production of blue hydrogen, with hopes for Humber H2ub (Blue) to begin operations by 2030, pending timely progress.
