ITM Power has been selected by Uniper for their 120-MW Humber H2ub (Green) project. The project was recently shortlisted as part of the UK’s H₂ Allocation Round 2 (HAR2).

ITM will deploy six 20-MW POSEIDON core electrolysis process modules into the project. POSEIDON offers unmatched efficiency, rapid response times, and an optimized footprint for large-scale projects.

The Humber H2ub (Green) project is a planned green H₂ production facility at Uniper’s Killingholme site. Its initial capacity will be 120 MW, with the future potential expansion of a further 200 MW+. In March 2024, Uniper and Phillips 66 Limited signed a collaboration agreement to work together towards supplying green H₂ from the Humber H2ub (Green) project to the Phillips 66 Limited Humber Refinery to replace some refinery fuel gas in industrial-scale fired heaters.

The project is subject to a final investment decision (FID), which is expected in 2026 and targeted to be operational by 2029.

Dennis Schulz, CEO, said, “We are delighted that Uniper has selected us for their large-scale green H₂ project in the UK, which will contribute to the decarbonization of the Humber Refinery and create skilled job opportunities at Killingholme and the surrounding area.”

Jan Taschenberger, Uniper COO New Green Power and Gas, said, “This is a key milestone for the project, and we are looking forward to working with ITM Power and further developing the engineering for the project built around the ITM Power 20-MW POSEIDON modules."
