2. Further Information
| Field | Information |
|---|---|
| Project Description | Joint feasibility study to investigate potential for blue hydrogen production at thyssenkrupp's steel plant in Duisburg and permanent offshore geological storage of the resulting CO2 emissions. The hydrogen will be produced from natural gas imported from Norway via a SMR (steam methane reforming) process, and will be used to replace coking coal in the steelmaking process. The study will evaluate sourcing and transport options for the hydrogen and transport and storage options for the CO2. Storage is likely to be handled by Equinor's Northern Lights project. The project is part of potential for the wider North Rhine Westphalia 8.6TWh of hydrogen production per year and 1.9MtCO2/yr emissions reduction by ~2030. |
