COP26 hydrogen tour visits Johnson Matthey in Stockton to learn how the North East is driving hydrogen
- Date 28 Oct 2021
Business leaders met at Johnson Matthey in Stockton on Monday 25 October to drive the conversation around hydrogen marking the North East ‘stop’ on the Decarbonised Gas Alliance’s (DGA) Hydrogen Roadshow.
Representatives from bp, energy infrastructure firm Kellas Midstream, Costain and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and Chris Rowell, the Clean Growth Manager from Tees Valley, met at Johnson Matthey’s site in Stockton for the event as the firm hosted the Decarbonised Gas Alliance as it tours the UK.
During the event, Johnson Matthey (JM) highlighted its Low Carbon Hydrogen process, which allows hydrogen to be produced at scale, with more than 95% of the produced CO2 captured at a much lower cost compared to conventional technology. The captured CO2 can then be transported for storage or use.
Two major hydrogen projects are being planned for the region: bp’s H2Teesside and Kellas Midstream’s H2NorthEast. Both schemes aim to produce up to 1GW of ‘blue’ hydrogen by 2030, helping to create thousands of jobs in the region.
Johnson Matthey’s process was developed by scientists and engineers in the area, including those working as part of its Trainee Scientist scheme. This degree apprenticeship scheme has been running in the region for the past 25 years, with those studying chemistry while working full-time in the firm’s research and development areas.
