Haldor Topsoe, Aker Carbon Capture to cooperate on low-carbon hydrogen solutions
Aker Carbon Capture and Haldor Topsoe have signed an MoU with the
intention to offer a complete solution for low-carbon hydrogen production.
The solution combines Haldor Topsoe’s hydrogen process and Aker Carbon Capture’s post combustion carbon capture technology to achieve low-emission and cost-effective production of ‘blue’ hydrogen – a clean energy carrier with a wide array of applications in industry and as a fuel.
The European Union foresees investments of €11 B for retrofitting half of the existing European hydrogen plants with carbon capture and storage before 2030.
”The collaboration with Aker Carbon Capture is an exciting opportunity to support customers in lowering their emissions from hydrogen production," Amy Hebert, Chief Commercial Officer of Haldor Topsoe said in a statement.
Decarbonizing the existing hydrogen market by adding carbon capture is a key to unlock the emerging hydrogen market in Europe, and the collaboration between Aker Carbon Capture and Haldor Topsoe aims to accelerate this process.
The two companies intend to enter into a formal cooperation agreement in early 2021 and approach market opportunities.
