Other projects include the Zero Carbon Humber project,
Cadent's HyNet North West project and Vertex
Hydrogen Ltd.'s H2
hub. The Zero Carbon Humber project
includes several projects to decarbonize the Humber
region of the UK. This includes green H2
production and
CCS projects. The first project in the initiative is Equinor's
600-MW H2H Saltend low-carbon H2

from natural gas and CCS. The
produced H2 will fuel the nearby Keadby Hydrogen power
station to provide power to the region. FID is scheduled
for 2023. If built, Equinor plans to deliver H2
to the Keadby
power station in 2028.
Air Products and VPI plan to build an 800-MW low-carbon
H2 facility in Immingham. Most of the H2
produced
will help decarbonize VPI's Immingham's existing power
production.
Cadent's HyNet North West project's scope includes
the production, storage and distribution of H2
in northwest
England. Once operational, the system is forecast to reduce
CO2
emissions by 10 MMtpy by 2030.
Vertex Hydrogen Ltd., a JV between Essar and Progressive
Energy, plans to build the UK's largest H2 hub. The $1.3B
project will build two H2 units to produce 1 GW of H2
produced green H2 will be used to heat homes and fuel the
. The
region's transportation sector (buses, trains and trucks).
Essar even plans to decarbonize its UK refining operations
by installing a H2
-fueled furnace at its Stanlow refinery.
Shell is working with Uniper to produce blue H2
. The
project will install CCS technology at Uniper's Killingholme
power station. The captured carbon will be used
to produce up to 720 MW of blue H2
. FEED is expected to
commence in 2023.
At the Port of Felixstowe, ScottishPower is investing
approximately $173 MM to build a 100-MW plant to
produce green H2
. The produced H2 will provide fuel to
vehicles and machinery used at the port. The plant is
scheduled to be completed in 2026.
In Aberdeen, the city council is working with several
firms to establish a H2
production, will be completed in 2024.
EASTERN EUROPE, RUSSIA
AND THE CIS
At the time of this publication, the GEI database was
tracking nearly 40 active H2 projects in the region. The following
are major projects and initiatives being undertaken
in Eastern Europe, Russia and the CIS.
Saipem and Alboran Hydrogen have signed an MoU to
develop five green H2
plants in various locations in Italy
and around the Mediterranean. Three plants will be developed
in Italy, with the remaining two to be built in Morocco
and Albania.
MOL is planning to install a 10-MW electrolysis unit at
its Danube refinery in Hungary. The unit will enable MOL
to produce 1,600 tpy of green H2
. To be completed in 2023,
the project is part of the company's sustainability plan,
which calls for the group to reach net-zero emissions by
2050. Hungary will also join Poland, Czech Republic and
Slovakia in the multi-billion-dollar Black Horse project.
This capital-intensive project includes the development
of the entire green H2
including H2
value chain within these countries,
production, transportation and distribution.
In total, the project calls for the construction of 40 H2
electrolyzers and liquefiers to produce 320 tpd of green
H2
, which will be used to refuel heavy-duty H2
-powered
trucks. Slovakia is also exploring potential blue H2 facilities
in the eastern part of the country. If built, they will help the
country's natural gas system operator Eustream reach its
goal of blending up to 5% H2
into the country's gas system
by the mid-2020s. Slovakian energy company BCF Energy
is increasing H2
build 40 H2 fueling stations. This network, valued at more
than $115 MM, will span across Slovakia.
Kazakhstan is devoted to developing a massive green
H2 hub in the country. According to reports, the project
would utilize 30 GW of wind and solar power to produce
2 MMtpy of green H2
. If developed, the production plant
hub in the city. The three-phase
project plans to use solar power to produce green H2 for
refueling buses and heavy-haul vehicles. Phase 1, which
includes green H2
would be in the Mangystau region of Western Kazakhstan.
In Poland, PKN Orlen has announced it will invest
heavily in developing the Hydrogen Eagle project. The
scope of work envisions creating nine H2
hubs across three
countries: five in Poland, three in the Czech Republic and
infrastructure in the country with plans to
one in Slovakia. The project includes the construction of an
H2
and Pure H2
. The Green H2
-fueling network consisting of 102 stations. PKN Orlen's
goal is to produce approximately 50,000 tpy of green H2
by 2030. Grupa Lotos is planning to develop its own projects:
Green H2
project includes
producthe
construction of a large-scale unit for green H2
tion, while the Pure H2 initiative focuses on distribution and
building a H2 fueling infrastructure.
Additional projects in Poland include the Hydropolis
United Sp Zoo and RZZO Sp Zoo waste-to-H2
ZE PAK's 710-tpy green H2 plant. These projects will help
Poland move toward becoming one of the most competitive
green H2
producers in the European region.
Romanian state-controlled electricity producer Hidroelectrica
has proposed to build a 50-MW green H2
production
unit on the Danube island Ostrovu Mare. The project includes
the construction of a PV solar park and battery storage.
Russia has laid out a comprehensive H2
strategy to 2050.
However, after the country invaded the Ukraine in 2022,
Russia has been ostracized by nations around the world.
This predicament has resulted in many nations refusing Russian
energy exports such as natural gas, LNG, crude oil and
refined products. The same refusal will, most likely, extend
to future H2
tell if Russian exports of energy such as H2
importing nations.
Russia's H2
exports in the near term. However, only time will
are welcomed by
strategy targets 2 MMtpy of H2
exports by
2035 and upwards of 15 MMtpy-50 MMtpy by 2050. The
strategy is laid out in three different stages, each with goals
for H2
production, export and infrastructure builds. The
stages and development include the following stages:
* Stage 1 (2021-2024): Create H2
clusters, develop
H2 technologies, implement pilot projects and
increase H2
exports to 200,000 tpy.
* Stage 2 (2025-2035): Advance large,
export-oriented H2
boost H2
exports to 2 MMtpy.
* Stage 3 (2036-2050): Increase H2
15 MMtpy-50 MMtpy by 2050.
