MHI selected as licensor of CO2 capture tech for low carbon hydrogen production project in the UK
In Japan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) said it has concluded a license agreement with Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) to provide CO2 capture technology for a low carbon hydrogen production plant being established in Cheshire in northwest England. The project, dubbed Hydrogen Production Plant 2 (HPP2), will be constructed at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex. The project owner is EET Hydrogen while KBR will provide hydrogen production process technology and the front-end engineering design (“FEED”). Under the agreement, MHI will license its “Advanced KM CDR Process, CO2 capture technology developed in collaboration with the Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc., and also provide the process design package for the new post combustion CO2 capture plant. HPP2 will have an annual hydrogen production capacity of nearly 230,000 tons, which is expected to be the UK’s largest-scale low carbon hydrogen plants when it begins operation. The captured CO2 will be permanently sequestered into depleted gas fields under the sea in Liverpool Bay, the Japanese firm said.
