BP and Linde launch a low-carbon hydrogen production project in the United States

BP and Linde have announced plans to move forward with a major carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Texas, USA, that will enable Linde's existing facilities to produce low-carbon hydrogen
.
The development will also support CO2 storage captured from other industrial facilities, paving the way
for massive decarbonization of the Texas Gulf Coast Industrial Corridor.

It is reported that the overall development project is expected to be put into use
as early as 2026.
The project will also capture and store CO2 from other large industrial facilities in the region, eventually storing up to 15 million tons of CO2 per year at multiple onshore geological storage sites, equivalent to taking about 3 million cars off the road
each year.

When completed, the project will capture and store CO2 from Linde's hydrogen production facility in the greater Houston area, as well as from its other facilities in Texas to produce low-carbon hydrogen
for the region.
The low-carbon hydrogen will be sold to customers along with Linde's hydrogen pipeline network and long-term contracts
will be signed with customers for the production of low-carbon chemicals and fuels.

Linde said it would use its proprietary technology and operational expertise to capture and compress carbon dioxide from its hydrogen production facility for the project
.
The project will enable Linde to offer cost-effective, reliable low-carbon hydrogen products and, together with BP, carbon capture and storage solutions
