fait accompli that we need both to co-exist in the short-medium-term at the very least.
Three of the things we’re going to need most in the immediate term, therefore, if we’re to realise the hydrogen society and our wider decarbonisation aims are speed and scale of the green hydrogen roll-out, the buy-in and investment of some of the biggest energy companies in the world, and the rapid adoption of blue hydrogen technologies across industry.
That invariably means a significant scope of experience and implementation of CCUS too.
Bringing together at least three of those four fundamentals is bp, and bringing her own extensive expertise and leadership to that table is Louise Jacobsen Plutt, Senior Vice-President of Hydrogen & CCUS at the company.

Will Big Oil’s Huge Carbon Capture Bet Pay Off? By Tsvetana Paraskova - Apr 21, 2021, 1:00 PM CDT
“We’re sending carbon back where it came from,” Norway’s energy giant Equinor says, describing its efforts to make carbon capture and storage (CCS) commercially viable in a future decarbonized energy system.
Equinor is a joint venture partner with two other oil majors, Shell and Total, in developing the Northern Lights project in Norway, which is planned to deliver carbon storage as a service to help third-party industries to reduce emissions.
Big Oil has been using CCS as a means to cut emissions from its own operations. Now the world’s largest international oil companies see carbon capture and storage as a potential new revenue stream in the energy transition.

ENERGY companies Equinor and SSE Thermal have unveiled plans to jointly develop two projects including what they claim will be one of the UK’s first power stations with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology and the world’s first major 100% hydrogen-fuelled power station.
According to the partners, the low-carbon power station projects will be the first of their kind and would be based in the UK’s Humber region. The projects are expected to enable the region to make a significant contribution to national CCS and hydrogen targets.

Equinor and SSE Thermal have today unveiled plans to jointly develop two first-of-a-kind, low-carbon power stations in the UK’s Humber region, comprising one of the UK’s first power stations with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, and the world’s first 100% hydrogen-fuelled power station.
The plans, underpinned by a new cooperation agreement between the two companies, would support the UK’s transition to net zero and accelerate the decarbonisation of the Humber, the UK’s largest and most carbon-intensive industrial cluster. The projects have the potential to create thousands of skilled jobs and revitalise a key industrial heartland.
