The statement of principles has been agreed with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), which BP said allows H2Teesside to enter final stage negotiations for a low carbon hydrogen agreement, intended to support the production of low carbon hydrogen on Teesside. 

Technip Energies will deliver the FEED contracts for the proposed blue hydrogen production facility with integrated carbon capture, which includes establishing the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) execution methodology, which will be completed in 2025.  

Infrastructure solutions company Costain has been selected to design the 31km pipeline distribution infrastructure, which BP said will deliver hydrogen from the blue hydrogen production site to industry, and is also expected to be completed by 2025.

As part of the East Coast Cluster, the integrated blue hydrogen production facility and hydrogen distribution pipeline intends to integrate with other decarbonisation projects in the region.
