Carlton Power to supply green hydrogen to mining companies

Carlton Power says it has signed partnership agreements for the Langage Green Hydrogen project to supply hydrogen fuel to two international mining and materials companies – Imerys and Sibelco.

Both companies have clay mining operations within 8 km miles of the Langage site. Sibeclo’s Cornwood operation and Imerys’ Lee Moor operation both produce kaolin, mainly for the brick ceramics and tiles industries.

These agreements follow last month’s announcement that the Langage Green Hydrogen project in Devon, England, had been shortlisted by the UK Government for financial suppor.

Both Sibelco and Imerys plan to cut their greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade, and the transition away from fossil fuels to hydrogen is an important lever in their sustainability strategies. Carlton’s 10 MW hydrogen hub project at Langage, earmarked to enter operation in 2025, will help the two companies achieve their sustainability goals, Carlton Power says.

The green hydrogen produced at Langage Green Energy will be supplied by an underground pipeline to Cornwood and Lee Moor.

Subject to reaching final agreements on the Langage project with the UK Government and a financial investment decision, Carlton Power is aiming to start construction onsite before the end of the year. Langage secured planning consent from South Hams Council in 2022.
