Equinor has awarded two huge contracts for its Humber hydrogen production project.
Linde Group has secured both packages of work at the Saltend site, where the energy giant intends to produce 600MW of low carbon fuel by 2027. Its Linde Engineering entity has been awarded the front-end engineering design works, with group company BOC set to operate and maintain the plant for the first five years.
Both were part of a design competition, which included scope for engineering, procurement and construction of the plant, a kickstarter project for the wider Zero Carbon Humber ambition.
