BP and Danish renewable energy group Orsted have partnered to launch BP’s first full-scale Green hydrogen project by using North Sea wind power.. Production is expected to start in 2024.
BP and Orsted initially plan to build a 50 megawatt (MW) electrolyzer to replace 20% of natural gas-based hydrogen at the plant. The project could be expanded to up to 500 MW at a later stage to replace all of Lingen’s fossil fuel-based hydrogen, BP aims to expand its hydrogen output to 10% of the market by 2030.
