Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has signed a license agreement for CO2 capture equipment for a new low-carbon hydrogen production plant that will be built in Cheshire, northwestern England, owned by EET Hydrogen, a British subsidiary of KBR, Inc., a major U.S. engineering company. The agreement was concluded with KBR, Ltd. (Kellogg Brown & Root, Ltd.). This project is an advanced low-carbon hydrogen production project called “HPP2 (Hydrogen Production Plant 2)” and is scheduled to be built at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex, which is home to one of the UK’s leading oil refineries. is. It will be promoted by EET Hydrogen, a company that leads low-carbon hydrogen production projects in the UK, and KBR, Ltd. will provide the hydrogen production technology and handle the front end engineering design (FEED). Under this agreement, we will license the CO2 capture technology “Advanced KM CDR Process (TM)” jointly developed with Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc., and provide a basic design package (PDP: Process Design Package) for the CO2 capture equipment. Masu. HPP2 will have a hydrogen production capacity of approximately 230,000 tonnes per year, making it the largest low-carbon hydrogen production plant in the UK. The project is a key pillar of the HyNet CCUS (Carbon dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage) cluster in north-west England, where the captured CO2 will be stored in a depleted gas field off the coast of Liverpool. The UK government has set a policy goal of achieving net zero CO2 emissions by 2050, and is building
infrastructure such as the construction of CCUS clusters in order to consistently implement CO2 capture, transportation, and storage in each industrial area. We are proceeding with maintenance. In October 2021, two CCUS clusters, HyNet and East Coast, were selected as CCUS clusters by the then UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS, currently the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: DESNZ)*. Ta. The new HPP2 construction project is an addition to HPP1 (Hydrogen Production Plant 1), which is scheduled to be constructed as part of EET Hydrogen’s large-scale blue hydrogen plant construction project in the HyNet cluster. The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group has declared that it will achieve carbon neutrality in 2040, and is strategically working to decarbonize both the energy demand and supply sides. One of the pillars of “Energy Transition,” which is a decarbonization strategy for the energy supply side, is the construction of a CO2 ecosystem that connects a wide variety of CO2 emission sources with storage and utilization. We will continue to strongly promote the CCUS business that utilizes our unique CO2 capture technology both domestically and internationally, and as a solution provider, we will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale and further develop solutions that contribute to environmental protection. Masu. *The official name of BEIS is “Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy” and the official name of DESNZ is “Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.” DESNZ was created in February 2023 through the division and reorganization of BEIS. About the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group’s CO2 capture technology Since 1990, the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Group has been working jointly with the Kansai Electric Power Company, Inc. to develop the CO2 capture technologies KM CDR Process (TM) and Advanced KM CDR Process (TM). As of March 2024, we have delivered 16 plants using the KM CDR Process (TM), and two more are currently under construction. In addition, the Advanced KM CDR Process (TM) includes KS-21 (TM), which is a technologically improved version of the amine absorption liquid KS-1 (TM), which has been adopted in all 16 commercial CO2 recovery plants that have been delivered to date. It has been adopted. KS-21 (TM) has superior regeneration efficiency and less deterioration than KS-1 (TM), and has been confirmed to have excellent energy-saving performance, reduced operating costs, and low amine emissions.
