Press release
bp and Linde plan major CCS project to advance decarbonization efforts across Texas Gulf Coast
- Project to include carbon capture and storage (CCS) and low carbon hydrogen production
- With potential start-up by 2026, project aims to store up to 15 million metric tons of CO2 per year in multiple sites – the equivalent of removing approximately 3 million cars from the road
- Engaging with additional emitters to decarbonize Texas Gulf Coast.
Houston – bp and Linde today announced plans to advance a major carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Texas that will enable low carbon hydrogen production at Linde’s existing facilities. The development will also support the storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from other industrial facilities – paving the way for large-scale decarbonization of the Texas Gulf Coast industrial corridor.
Upon completion, the project will capture and store CO2 from Linde’s hydrogen production facilities in the greater Houston area – and potentially from its other Texas facilities – to produce low carbon hydrogen for the region. The low carbon hydrogen will be sold to customers along Linde’s hydrogen pipeline network under long-term contracts to enable production of low carbon chemicals and fuels.
As part of the project, bp will appraise, develop and permit the geological storage sites for permanent sequestration of the CO2. bp’s trading & shipping business aims to bring custom low carbon solutions to the project, including renewable power and certified natural gas, along with commodity trading and price risk management expertise.
