Uniper Partners with ITM Power for Major Green Hydrogen Project in the UK
Key Ideas
- Uniper selects ITM Power for its Humber H2ub® green hydrogen project in the UK, with an initial capacity of 120MW and potential extension to over 200MW.
- ITM Power to deliver six POSEIDON electrolysis modules for high efficiency and compact deployment, with a Final Investment Decision expected in 2026 and commercial operations by 2029.
- Collaboration between Uniper and ITM Power aims to boost domestic green hydrogen production, support industrial development, and create skilled jobs in the region.
- The project, part of Uniper's UK industrial strategy, includes an agreement with Phillips 66 Limited to potentially replace fuel gas with green hydrogen at the Humber Refinery.
German energy group Uniper has partnered with British company ITM Power for the Humber H2ub® green hydrogen production project in Killingholme, UK. The project, with an initial capacity of 120MW and plans for extension to over 200MW, has been shortlisted in the UK government’s second Hydrogen Allocation Round. ITM Power will supply six POSEIDON electrolysis modules designed for efficiency and large-scale deployments. The Final Investment Decision is anticipated in 2026, targeting commercial operations by 2029. The project aims to replace fuel gas with green hydrogen at the Phillips 66 Humber Refinery and boost local electrolysis capacity to meet the demand for alternative energy carriers in heavy industrial applications. Uniper and ITM Power's collaboration is seen as a strategic milestone, with potential economic benefits including job creation and enhanced green hydrogen production capabilities. The project aligns with Uniper's industrial strategy in the UK, signaling a positive step towards sustainable energy development and infrastructure growth.
