BP and Linde plan 'major' CCS project for low carbon hydrogen production.

BP and Linde announced a "major" carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Texas that will enable the production of low carbon hydrogen at Linde's existing facilities on the Texas Gulf Coast. The project involves the capture and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) from Linde's hydrogen production plants in the greater area of Houston, TX - and potentially from its other Texas facilities - to produce low carbon hydrogen for the region. The project could start up by 2026. The hydrogen will be sold to customers along Linde's hydrogen pipeline network for use in the production of low carbon chemicals and fuels. BP will appraise, develop and permit the geological storage sites for permanent sequestration of the CO2, while Linde will utilize its technology and operational expertise to capture and compress the CO2 from its plants. BP's trading and shipping business aims to bring custom low carbon solutions to the project, including renewable power and certified natural gas.
