We have started the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) under the A15 motorway for the new pipeline that will link Air Products‘ announced CO2 capture facility at its existing hydrogen production plant to the Porthos infrastructure, the company reported.
Porthos is a consortium developing the first large-scale CO2 transport and storage system in the Netherlands. Thanks to the CO2 capture facility and its connection to the Porthos system, Air Products will reduce its CO2 emissions in the Port of Rotterdam by more than half. This is an important step towards achieving our climate goals.
Air Products’ hydrogen production facility will supply blue hydrogen to the nearby ExxonMobil refinery, and additional customers via Air Products’ hydrogen pipeline network.
The advanced CO2 capture plant is expected to be operational by 2026, becoming the largest blue hydrogen production facility in Europe.
