Summary
Multinational chemical company Ineos has announced a tender for the next stage of the design of a world-scale carbon capture enabled hydrogen production plant at Grangemouth.
Ineos believes that the construction of such a plant would be a significant step towards delivering a sustainable future for its businesses at Grangemouth with a move to low-carbon hydrogen fuel
Investment in a world-scale low-carbon hydrogen plant is the cornerstone of the site’s Road Map to Net-Zero, underpinning a commitment to deliver emissions savings of more than 60 percent across the site by 2030.
“We are progressing at pace with our commitment to deliver our Net-Zero plans. This will see the displacement of hydrocarbon fuels used at Grangemouth, like natural gas, with clean, low carbon hydrogen to power our processes and manufacture vital materials used across a wide range of sectors,” Stuart Collings, CEO of Ineos O&P UK, said.
This power plant will employ highly efficient technology to supply energy to all our site operations and will drive down emissions by at least 150,000 tons of CO2 per annum. This new power plant will then be converted to run on hydrogen which will further reduce CO2 emissions.
Access to locally produced hydrogen will have benefits for other assets at the Grangemouth Site, fueling the existing Combined Heat and Power Plant, the KG Ethylene Plant, and assets in the Petroineos Refinery.
