Humber H&#8322;ub<sup>&#174;</sup>

The Humber H₂ub® project is a proposed large scale, low carbon hydrogen production facility at Uniper’s Killingholme site. The project includes an up to 720MW blue hydrogen project (Humber H₂ub® (Blue) project) and an up to 120MW green hydrogen project (Humber H₂ub® (Green) project) and is expected to be operational later this decade. The hydrogen produced could be used to decarbonise heavy industry, transport and power throughout the Humber region.

Viking CCS

Viking CCS is a CO2 capture, transport and storage network expected to be operational from 2027 and targeting a reduction of 10 million tonnes of UK emissions per annum by 2030 and up to 15 million tonnes per annum by 2035. Working together with our key industrial members, the cluster is set to deliver investment of up to £7bn from 2025 to 2035. Located in the Humber, the UK’s most industrialised region and largest emitter of CO2, the project is central to establishing a world-leading CCS industry in the UK and meeting the Government’s 2050 net zero emissions targets.
