Lhyfe plans 20MW Tyneside hydrogen plant

Set to be the company’s first UK facility, Lhyfe Wallsend will be capable of producing up to eight tonnes of green hydrogen per day. According to Lyhfe, this is enough to power around 100,000km of hydrogen truck travel or 800,000km with a H2-powered car. The company says the plant will supply a range of organisations in the region and across the UK seeking to decarbonise their manufacturing and transport operations.

“We are excited to announce North Tyneside as the site for our first UK green hydrogen production project,” said Taia Kronborg, chief business officer at Lhyfe. “The development of green hydrogen projects is critical if major energy users are to decarbonise their operations. We hope this project will not only help the North East but the whole of the UK reach its net zero targets.

“At Lhyfe, we are demonstrating that green hydrogen is now a reality and a key driver of the clean energy transition. We have a strong ethos of working with partners and communities to create projects that deliver real local value, and this is a key focus in growing our operations in line with demand.”
