Neptune ‘reviewing options’ on DepHYnus CCS–hydrogen scheme after government snub

Neptune Energy has said it remains committed to the DelpHYnus project, a blue hydrogen and CCS scheme on England’s east coast, after missing out on UK Government selection.

Neptune’s proposal for the DelpHYnus project would see the development of a carbon dioxide (CO2) transport and storage (T&S) site for the South Humber Industrial area, alongside production facilities for blue hydrogen at the former Theddlethorpe Gas Terminal site.

The 1.8-GW hydrogen production plant would be capable of meeting 36% of the UK’s 5GW target for hydrogen production capacity by 2030, Neptune says, while CO2 T&S could make use of existing infrastructure around the company’s Cynus gas asset.
