BP seeks approval for hydrogen plant in the UK

In the UK, BBC reported that BP is seeking planning approval to build a hydrogen plant on Teesside, in the UK. This process follows a consultation it led into its proposed HyGreen project in Redcar in 2023, according to the report. BP said the plant would produce hydrogen by breaking down water using electricity. The plans submitted to Redcar and Cleveland Council say hydrogen produced there would be transported by pipe to nearby factories, the report added. In its planning documents BP said it aims to start building the plant in 2025 and complete the project by 2028.
