BP has cancelled its 1.2 GW H2Teesside blue hydrogen project on the Teesworks industrial zone in England (United Kingdom) (H2View, 02/12/2025). The company withdrew the project before the government decided on whether to develop a data centre in the same site, citing “material change in circumstances” to the land that the plant had been due to be built on.
The Group plans to focus on other significant projects in Teesside, namely Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power, an 860 MW gas-fired power plant equipped with a 2 MtCO2/year CCS facility) and the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP, a CCS project aiming to remove up to 27 MtCO2/year by 2030). In March 2025, BP had already cancelled plans to develop a green hydrogen production plant in Teesside, which aimed at developing an 80 MW electrolyser capacity as of 2026 to produce green hydrogen from renewable power and to reach up to 500 MW of capacity by 2030, as the group revised its strategy.
