The Hydrogen to Magnum (H2M) project, which is being carried out by Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) from Japan, Equinor from Norway and Gasunie, has another unique feature. It will use hydrogen made from natural gas, but the carbon emitted in this process will be captured and stored in underground facilities off the coast of Norway. This type of project involving hydrogen production and carbon capture and storage (CCS) may be a world first at this scale. Duym notes its impact may be very significant. ‘It will take several decades before there is enough renewable power available to produce hydrogen in the quantities we need. The only way we can produce hydrogen in large volumes now is to also make it from natural gas and capture and store the carbon.’
