EET Hydrogen has said it is leading the North West’s low carbon economy after securing agreements to supply over 30 businesses across the industrial, power and transport sectors with locally produced, low carbon hydrogen.
In recent months, it has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) agreements with customers across 10 key sectors including chemicals, glass, power, automotive, construction, refining, aerospace, food and drink, pharmaceuticals, and ground transport. The agreements signed reflected a total demand of around 29TWh per year, equating to a hydrogen production capacity of around 3.3GW.
It highlighted how the continued demand is a major boost for the North West’s low carbon economy, with the shift to low carbon hydrogen promising jobs, investment and a strengthening of the region’s position as a low carbon energy hub. The low carbon hydrogen will be produced at EET Hydrogen’s second hydrogen production plant (HPP2).
Marta Csibra, Head of Strategy and Business Development at EET Hydrogen, said: “The North West hosts approximately 340,000 industrial jobs supplying vital products and services across the UK, and beyond. Industry needs to transition to flourish in a low carbon future and EET Hydrogen is committed to enabling decarbonisation, rather than deindustrialisation.”
