GeoPura and Forth Ports partner to develop green hydrogen plant at Port of Tilbury
In India, SolarQuarter reported that GeoPura and Forth Ports have signed a long-term agreement to develop a green hydrogen production facility at the Port of Tilbury, in the UK.
The project will see the installation of an initial 1 MW low-carbon hydrogen production plant. Construction is expected to begin this year, with hydrogen generated through electrolysis powered by on-site solar energy, according to the report.
Under a 10-year agreement, with an option to extend, the facility will supply zero-emission hydrogen for port operations and the wider Thames Estuary region. The initiative positions Tilbury among the first major UK ports to host commercial-scale hydrogen production for heavy industrial applications, the report added.
The facility will also support major infrastructure projects, including the Lower Thames Crossing, where GeoPura has been contracted to supply 25,000 tonnes of hydrogen.
