Energy company Uniper has submitted a planning application to North Lincolnshire Council (NLC) for its Humber H2ub (Green) hydrogen production project.
The plans are for a proposed electrolytic hydrogen production facility of up to 120 MW, with the potential for future expansion.
The hydrogen, which will comply with the government’s Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard, would be used to replace some refinery fuel gas in industrial scale fired heaters, as part of Phillips 66 Limited’s plans to reduce the Humber Refinery’s Scope 1 operational emissions.
Guy Phillips, team lead, business development hydrogen for Uniper in the UK, said: “This is an important next step towards getting the necessary permission to construct this facility at our Killingholme site.
“The availability of low carbon hydrogen will be essential to retaining industry in the Humber region and for economic growth. We look forward to continuing to engage with stakeholders as we work towards realising the Humber H2ub® (Green) project.”
