London/UK – Kellas Midstream, the Aberdeen-based independent energy infrastructure company, has started front end engineering design (Feed) work on its H2northeast hydrogen project in Teesside. The project has been working towards this key milestone since it was successfully awarded funding in March this year through the Net Zero Hydrogen Fund, a UK government initiative to support the commercial deployment of low carbon hydrogen projects.

H2northeast is strategically located in Teesside, an area committed to becoming one of the world’s first decarbonized industrial clusters. Phase 1 of the project involves the design and build of a 355 MW hydrogen production facility and hydrogen distribution system, with the potential to upscale to more than 1 GW in a second phase by 2030, contributing up to 10 % of the UK’s target hydrogen capacity.

Kellas is delighted to announce it is partnering with Worley and Johnson Matthey, two leading service companies, for H2northeast Feed.

Johnson Matthey has been appointed through Worley as Feed technology partner, deploying its leading LCH technology that will provide the highest process efficiency commercially available today for low carbon hydrogen production, and with more than 95 % carbon capture, it is higher than the levels set in the UK Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard, the most stringent in the world.

The licence is another step towards JM’s milestone of winning more than ten additional large-scale projects across Catalyst Technologies and Hydrogen Technologies by the end of 2023/24.

Moving into front end engineering design brings Kellas a step closer to final investment decision (FID) for H2northeast targeted for 2025, and commercial operation and first hydrogen production targeted in 2028.

Nathan Morgan, Kellas CEO, said: “This is another important step for H2northeast and the creation of low carbon energy sources on Teesside. The project will play a vital role in ensuring a sustainable future for this crucial industrial cluster.”

For Teesside, H2northeast offers a large-scale, cost-effective and sustainable way to deliver low carbon hydrogen, with the potential to have a major impact on the region’s economy. The project is expected to upskill 90 existing jobs and create more than 100 new operational jobs, contributing an additional £200-300 million to the local economy and supporting local supply chain.
