Oil majors reduce emissions
 Send this news
Five oil majors teamed up to create a clean energy plant. BP, ConocoPhillips, Shell and Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE)are to commence engineering design of the world’s first industrial scale project to generate ‘carbon-free’ electricity from hydrogen.
The project would represent a significant new step in providing clean energy to consumers, tackling carbon dioxide emissions believed to contribute to climate change and enhancing the recovery and utilisation of known world energy resources.
The plant would reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted to the atmosphere by the power generation by over 90 per cent. While each of the component technologies making up the project is already proven, their proposed combination in this project is a world first.
Lord Browne, BP Group Chief Executive, said: “This is an important and unique project configured at a scale that can offer significant progress in the provision of cleaner energy and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.
“For example, if applied to just five per cent of the new electricity generating capacity that the world is projected to require by 2050, such schemes would have the potential to reduce global carbon dioxide emissions by around one billion tonnes
a year. This is a material step in the challenge the
world faces.”
