UK manufacturers getting Fit For hydrogen and carbon capture

News

Thirty UK manufacturing companies are starting a new programme to test and develop their capabilities to supply hydrogen production and carbon capture markets.

The site for H2H Saltend, one of the world’s first full-scale low-carbon hydrogen production plants, and a core part of Zero Carbon Humber. The project will support the construction of a pipeline network connecting to industrial sites and gas and biomass power stations throughout the Humber, enabling them to capture their carbon dioxide emissions and switch to low-carbon hydrogen power

In the year-long pilot programme for the Zero Carbon Humber Partnership, the companies will work towards the Fit For Hydrogen (F4H2) and Fit For Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (F4CCUS) standards.

Zero Carbon Humber involves 14 partners aiming to decarbonise the UK’s most carbon intensive region and transform the Humber into the world’s first net zero industrial region by 2040.

F4H2 and F4CCUS are managed by the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (Nuclear AMRC), part of the UK’s High Value Manufacturing Catapult, based on its Fit For model of supplier development.

“Our Fit For model of supply chain development has proven its value in helping companies develop their capabilities to win work in demanding energy sectors,” said Stephen Kinsey, supply chain programme manager at the Nuclear AMRC. “As with other quality-critical sectors, it’s vital that companies wanting to enter the supply chain for hydrogen and carbon capture understand the specific requirements of their potential customers and can demonstrate high standards of quality management and performance across their business.”
