Vertex Hydrogen has signed a heads of terms offtake agreement for over 200 megawatts of low carbon hydrogen with Northwich-based Tata Chemicals Europe. TCE is one of Europe’s producers of sodium carbonate, salt, sodium bicarbonate and other products used in the manufacture of food and animal feed, glass, detergents, chemicals and several other industry applications.
In June 2022, Tata opened the UK’s first industrial scale carbon capture and usage plant. The £20 million investment captures 40,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year the equivalent to taking over 20,000 cars off the road.
Vertex is helping the UK lead the development of low carbon hydrogen production as an integral part of HyNet, the UK’s leading industrial decarbonization cluster. It will help to solve our urgent need to drastically reduce carbon emissions in our manufacturing sector, securing and growing vital industry.
