Vertex Hydrogen has signed agreements to supply over 1,000 MW of low-carbon H₂ to leading industrial names in the region. This is a similar amount of energy that powers a major city like Liverpool, secures the entire initial H₂ production capacity of Vertex and enables the vital H₂ infrastructure investments in the region. This milestone reflects Vertex’s status as the largest and most advanced low carbon H₂ hub in the UK.

The Project will capture some 1.8 MMtpy of CO₂ to be stored by the HyNet project to reduce more than 10% of the region’s industrial emissions–the equivalent to taking 750,000 cars off the roads.

The Project will see over £2 B of direct investments in the H₂ plant and associated regional H₂ transport and storage infrastructure–securing and growing vital jobs in the region.

Joe Seifert, CEO of Vertex Hydrogen, said, “We have always said that Vertex is demand-led from leading industrial companies and we have now signed agreements for over 1000 MW of H₂–our entire expected production capacity from the initial phases of our project. This milestone gives us huge confidence in the economics of the project and the long-term demand for low carbon H₂ in the coming decades.”
