The blue H₂ by T.ENTM H₂ plant will capture a significant amount of CO₂, and reduce carbon emissions from the petrochemical complex. LG Chem intends to utilize the captured CO₂.

The 56,000 Nm³/h capacity H₂ plant will utilize Technip Energies’ proprietary steam reforming technology to convert methane-rich offgas from the naphtha cracking process into H₂. The H₂ plant will include a selective catalytic reduction unit for control of NOx emissions.

The new H₂ unit will be integrated with LG Chem’s naphtha cracking complex to allow LG Chem to convert the petrochemical pyrolysis complex to a more sustainable low-carbon process.

Loic Chapuis, SVP Gas & Low Carbon Energies of Technip Energies said, “We are pleased to work with LG Chem to decarbonize their petrochemical complex by incorporating our low-carbon hydrogen solution, BlueH2 by T.EN. Our technology has been proven to reduce carbon emissions by up to 99% and has the flexibility to be tailored for various applications in industry.”
