BPS 100MW Green Hydrogen Project Receives Funding from BMWK and Lower-Saxony Government
Project to Install 100MW Electrolyser, Producing Over 10,000 Tons of Green Hydrogen Annually
Funding Part of EU Innovation Fund, Jointly Provided by BMWK and Lower-Saxony Government
BP plc has been granted funding for a 100-megawatt (MW) green hydrogen project next to its Lingen Refinery in Germany. The funding was provided jointly by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and the Lower-Saxony Government as part of the European Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI). This funding is part of the EU Innovation Fund, one of the largest funding programs for innovative low-carbon technologies.
The project aims to install a 100 MW electrolyser at the Lingen Refinery, capable of producing an average of 10,000-11,000 tons per year of green hydrogen. The green hydrogen produced will be used at the refinery, reducing its reliance on fossil fuels and supporting the decarbonization of its operations.
