Equinor’s H2H Saltend project gets planning permission
In Norway, Equinor said its H2H Saltend project has been granted planning permission by the East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Equinor’s H2H Saltend is a 600-megawatt low carbon hydrogen production plant with carbon capture. The Norwegian company said that this approval comes at a vital time, as the project prepares for a potential application into the Government’s forthcoming ‘Cluster Sequencing Track-1 Expansion’ process, which is expected to launch this year and will select decarbonization projects in both the Humber and Teesside that can connect to the East Coast Cluster’s carbon capture transport and storage infrastructure by around 2030. The company also noted that hydrogen from H2H Saltend will also be blended with natural gas at Equinor and SSE Thermal’s on-site Triton power station. The amount of CO2 captured and safely stored in sub-sea aquifers as a result will be around nearly 900,000 tons per year, it added.
