bp and BASF partner for carbon capture in Teesside project

bp and BASF have announced a partnership for the development of carbon capture technology in bp's H2Teesside blue hydrogen project.

The agreement involves the use of BASF's OASE® white technology to capture carbon dioxide generated during hydrogen production at the proposed facility in Teesside.

BASF's OASE® white technology is expected to improve energy efficiency in the blue hydrogen production process while achieving a carbon capture rate of up to 99.99%.

Will Harrison-Cripps, H2Teesside Asset Development Lead at bp, said: "Along with its sister project HyGreen Teesside, H2Teesside could play a critical role in decarbonising industry and heavy transport on Teesside, helping to transform the region into a leading hydrogen hub and kickstart the UK’s low carbon hydrogen economy."
