ITM Power to Supply Electrolysis Technology for Uniper's Humber Hydrogen Project
Key Ideas
- ITM Power has been selected by Uniper to provide electrolysis technology for the HumberH2ub (Green) project in Killingholme, North Lincolnshire.
- The project aims to produce green hydrogen with an initial capacity of 120 MW, expandable to over 300 MW, to decarbonize the Humber refinery and create job opportunities in the region.
- Uniper is also working on a separate blue hydrogen project, Humber H2ub (Blue), with Shell, aiming for a capacity of up to 720 MW, utilizing carbon capture and storage technology.
- The projects are part of Uniper's energy transformation hubs, focusing on innovative energy transition initiatives, with Humber H2ub (Blue) potentially starting operations by 2030.
ITM Power, a hydrogen fuel cell specialist, has been chosen by Uniper for the HumberH2ub (Green) project in Killingholme, North Lincolnshire. This project was shortlisted under the UK government’s hydrogen allocation round 2 scheme. ITM Power will provide six 20-MW Poseidon core electrolysis process modules for the project, with an initial capacity of 120 MW and the potential for future expansion. The green hydrogen produced will be used to decarbonize the Humber refinery, replacing some refinery fuel gas with hydrogen. Uniper is targeting a final investment decision in 2026 and aims to have the project operational by 2029. The project is part of a broader scheme that includes the Humber H2ub (Blue) plan for blue hydrogen production with carbon capture and storage. Uniper, along with Shell, is working on the Humber H2ub (Blue) project, aiming for a capacity of up to 720 MW. The projects are integral to Uniper's energy transformation hubs, focusing on clean energy initiatives. ITM Power's CEO expressed enthusiasm for the project, highlighting its contribution to decarbonization and job creation. Uniper's chief operating officer also emphasized the importance of the collaboration with ITM Power. The projects are subject to planning approvals, with timelines set for submissions and decisions. The broader energy transition initiatives, including clean hydrogen production, are key components of Uniper's sustainability efforts in the region.
