EDF has selected ITM Power for the plant integration engineering for Phase 1 of the Tees Green Hydrogen project.
The project, located in North East England, is being developed by EDF Renewables UK and Hynamics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EDF Group.
The engineering package will involve integrating four NEPTUNE II units, ITM Power’s hydrogen fully autonomous electrolyser system.
This announcement follows ITM’s July 2024 statement regarding a capacity reservation for four such units with an unnamed large utility company, which has now been revealed to be Hynamics.
Tees Green Hydrogen is part of the UK government’s Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1) and has previously received funding from the Net Zero Hydrogen Fund (NZHF). Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 will support 11 renewable hydrogen projects with total capacity of 125 MW – the Tees Green project is one of them.
ITM said in a statement that the project aims to support local industry and transport decarbonisation efforts by supplying green hydrogen.
“It is a privilege to have been selected by EDF Renewables UK and Hynamics, and we look forward to collaborating with them,” said Dennis Schulz.
