Hydrogen
Scaling up production of low-carbon hydrogen
Hydrogen produces zero greenhouse gas emissions at its point of use. It's also versatile - suitable for power generation, trucking, and heat-intensive industries like steel and chemicals. We are scaling up production of low-carbon hydrogen to reduce CO2 emissions in our own facilities, and helping others do the same.

“There are applications in the energy sector that require high energy density. Think long distance trucks, ships, heavy industry, steel, chemical production, cement. These applications will continue to need high energy density fuels and are unlikely to be electrified very easily. So, this is where we need a low-carbon fuel source like hydrogen.”
Behind the technology
Click on the key areas below to learn more about hydrogen
Natural gas
Natural gas largely comprises methane (CH4) and can be turned into hydrogen through a reforming process.
Hydrogen
Once isolated, hydrogen can be used for domestic heating, transportation and in other industrial areas.
Water
Water is an input into the reforming process.
Carbon storage
CO2 is removed, transported and permenently stored.
Steam methane reforming
Natural gas and steam undergo a series of reactions and separation to make H2 and CO2.
Low Carbon Solutions
Low Carbon Solutions is helping to lower emissions by providing solutions to our industrial and commercial customers in growing markets for carbon capture and storage, hydrogen and lower-emission fuels.
