First UK “Blue” Hydrogen production projects with improved reforming and carbon capture technology.

“Overview of the HyNet NW project and progress to date”

David Parkin, Director, Progressive Energy

Progressive Energy is the lead project developer for the HyNet hydrogen / CCS scheme in the North West. This includes a Low Carbon Hydrogen production facility at Stanlow Refinery producing H2 at scale with high efficiency and high carbon capture rate. Progressive is also leading the HyDeploy hydrogen blending trial and a further project to conduct live H2 fuelling trials at a cluster of local large industrial users.

David Parkin is Project Director for HyNet. Prior to joining Progressive Energy in his current role, he was Network Strategy Director for National Grid Gas (subsequently Cadent), where he led the formation of the Future of Gas programme which first set out a strategy for decarbonisation of heat and led to the development of numerous projects, including the HyDeploy and HyNet hydrogen projects. David spent the early part of his career at BAE Systems / Airbus, before moving to Atkins in 2008, where he became Director of Power and Renewables. David holds degrees from Cambridge, Warwick and MIT.

“J M Technology approach for Hynet NW and similar "blue" H2 projects at St Fergus and the Isle of Grain”

Sam French, Senior Business Development Manager, Johnson Matthey

Sam is leading efforts at Johnson Matthey to develop their role within the new market of Low Carbon Hydrogen.

Hydrogen will be the key gas used in multiple sectors, such as transport, industry, domestic heating and dispatchable power. The key element now is to deploy technology at scale so that we can learn and understand the systems cost.

The Stanlow facility will deliver low cost, low carbon hydrogen at high efficiency, and a very high carbon capture rate – over 95% of the carbon used in the process will be captured and stored, thanks to the pioneering hydrogen production technology.
