H2morrow

The H2morrow project was a proposed blue hydrogen and carbon capture initiative aimed at supplying low-carbon hydrogen and CO₂ management infrastructure to the ThyssenKrupp steelworks in Duisburg, Germany. Under the plan, ThyssenKrupp and project partners intended to capture CO₂ from industrial processes and produce hydrogen from natural gas reforming with integrated capture, positioning the facility as a decarbonization enabler for hard-to-abate steel production. A feasibility study concluded that the hydrogen and CO₂ capture supply pathway was technically possible, but the project did not proceed because the required political and regulatory framework — including long-term offtake certainty and supportive policy incentives — was not sufficiently clarified at the time. As a result, H2morrow was not advanced into engineering, financing, or construction, and the planned CCS partnership with ThyssenKrupp and other stakeholders was ultimately discontinued in favor of pursuing lower-carbon pathways aligned with evolving regulatory conditions.
