UKCCSRC - Carbon Capture & Storage (CCS) Hydrogen Production from Methane with CCS - Possible Near-Term Technologies for the UK

On Thursday 16th July 2020, an expert workshop was held to identify the range of technologies that might be used in the near-term in the UK for CH₄ conversion to H₂ with CCS. This will support a study on ‘Establishing Best Available Techniques for hydrogen production from methane with associated carbon capture for storage (CCS)’ to be commissioned by the Environment Agency.

See the agenda below with titles, speakers and presentations:

Introduction and overview of BAT scope

Air Products – Experience at Port Arthur CCS project and general UK-related considerations
UKCCSRC – SMR combined with GT and PCC
Johnson Matthey – H₂ production with CCS and general UK-related considerations
Shell – Shell POX process

Wood – H₂in benchmark CCS studies for BEIS and other UK-related considerations
Progressive – H₂ from CH₄with CCS in HyNet

Drax – H₂ from CH₄ with CCS
VPI – H₂ from CH₄with CCS in the Humber Net Zero cluster
PBD – H₂ from CH₄ with CCS in the Acorn project
SWIC – H₂ from CH₄ with CCS in South Wales
TVCA – H₂ from CH₄with CCS on Teesside
