LG Chem selects Technip Energies technology

The Blue H₂ by T.EN^TM hydrogen plant will capture a significant amount of carbon dioxide, and reduce carbon emissions from the petrochemical complex. LG Chem intends to utilise the captured CO₂.

The 56 000 Nm³/h capacity hydrogen plant will utilise Technip Energies’ proprietary steam reforming technology to convert methane-rich offgas from the naphtha cracking process into hydrogen. The hydrogen plant will include a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) unit for control of NO_x emissions.

The new hydrogen unit will be integrated with LG Chem’s naphtha cracking complex (NCC) 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 decarbonise 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.”
