Uniper announces plans for Humber H2ub project

In the UK, Uniper has outlined its plans for the Humber H2ub project, which aims to produce electrolytic hydrogen at its Killingholme site, in the Humber region. The Humber H2ub project includes plans for an initial electrolytic hydrogen production capacity of up to 120 MW, with the potential for future expansion, the company said. Uniper and Phillips 66 Limited have signed a collaboration agreement to work together towards a supply of green hydrogen from the Humber H2ub project to Phillips 66 Limited’s Humber Refinery from 2029. The hydrogen would be used to replace 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, it added. “The Humber H2ub project is a key part of Uniper’s hydrogen ambitions in the UK and we’re pleased to be collaborating on it with Phillips 66 Limited. The Humber region is recognized as the UK’s most carbon intensive industrial region and hydrogen will be vital in decarbonizing and securing the region’s economy. The Humber H2ub project could make an important contribution to kick starting the hydrogen economy in the Humber region,” said Guy Phillips, Team Lead, Business Development Hydrogen, UK for Uniper.
