H2 Teesside

The H2Teesside hydrogen project was BP’s planned blue hydrogen facility at the Teesworks site in Teesside, northeast England that would have produced hydrogen from natural gas with associated CO₂ capture and storage. When first announced in 2021, the project targeted a capacity of up to 1.2 GW of hydrogen output and capture of roughly 2 million tonnes of CO₂ per year for permanent storage as part of the UK’s low-carbon hydrogen strategy. BP formally cancelled the H2Teesside project in late 2025, withdrawing its development consent application after several years of delays and citing “material changes in circumstances,” including planning permission for an AI data centre on the same site and weaker demand for low-carbon hydrogen from major industrial customers. The project did not advance to construction or carbon capture deployment and was shelved alongside other BP hydrogen efforts in the region.
