About the Project
Flexible and low-carbon power production will be key to supporting variable renewable power production, ensuring reliable access to electricity.

Our net-zero vision
Hydrogen will be a key contributor to the energy transition as the energy industry is scaling up renewable energy solutions.
It won’t be until the latter part of the century before there is sufficient renewable energy to supply the world’s energy needs. That’s why other forms of low carbon energy, such as hydrogen, will be needed to secure energy supply, decarbonise energy-intensive industries and ultimately, achieve net-zero by 2050.
Keadby Hydrogen Power Station would generate 100% carbon-free power using hydrogen as fuel. This first-of-a-kind project would at-scale demand for hydrogen in the region for decades to come.
Technology
As an effective and environmentally-friendly energy carrier, hydrogen will make a key contribution to sustainable development of energy.
Understanding Hydrogen
Hydrogen has strategic importance in the pursuit of a low-emission, environmentally benign, cleaner and more sustainable energy system. The combustion product of hydrogen is clean, consisting of water and small amounts of nitrogen oxides.
Explore our projects
Together, Equinor and SSE Thermal are developing four low-carbon projects, all focused on providing vital flexibility to the energy system. In addition to Keadby Hydrogen Power Station, we are also collaborating on:
Aldbrough Hydrogen
Storage
Keadby 3 Carbon Capture Power Station
Peterhead Carbon Capture Power Station
