Equinor starts FEED work for low-carbon hydrogen challenge in Netherlands

Norwegian vitality predominant Equinor and world industrial gases and engineering firm Linde accept as true with started the front-terminate engineering function (FEED) of their joint funding within the H2M Eemshaven low-carbon hydrogen challenge within the Netherlands.

The two events are entering the last piece of stories earlier than a planned funding decision, Equinor published, noting that H2M Eemshaven targets to construct 1 GW of low-carbon hydrogen to back decarbonize vitality-intensive commercial esteem steel and chemical production in tidy industrial clusters in each and each the Netherlands and Germany.

Per Equinor, the production facility is planned within the Eemshaven industrial rating 22 situation, the establish this could reform pure gas from the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) to hydrogen with CO2 hang and storage (CCS).

More than 95% of the CO2 would perhaps be captured and saved completely below the seabed offshore Norway, Equinor stated, adding that the target is to starting up production in dreary 2028.

Equinor will true get admission to to carbon transport and storage skill and offer low-carbon hydrogen to the market for the challenge, while Linde will invent, co-absorb and operate the hydrogen production and carbon hang and switch facility.

Commenting on the challenge, Equinor acknowledged: “Scaling up hydrogen production will back develop market and production skill and true cost-efficient solutions. The challenge contributes to the EU’s emission reduction target of 55% by 2030 and aligns with our carbon neutrality ambitions by 2050.”
