Teesside Hydrogen
Teesside Green Hydrogen is a large-scale green hydrogen production project being developed by MorGen Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Trafigura. The facility, to be located in Teesside, UK, will have a total capacity of 60 MWe, delivered through three 20 MWe Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysers. It will produce approximately 15-18 tonnes of green hydrogen per day using electricity that meets the UK’s Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard.
The hydrogen will primarily support the decarbonisation of Teesside’s industrial cluster, serving as a chemical feedstock or replacement of natural gas as high-temperature industrial heat. Distribution to end users will occur via a dedicated
pipeline network within the Wilton International complex in Teesside.

Teesside Green Hydrogen sits within one of the UK’s most significant industrial hubs, offering immediate proximity to energy-intensive users across chemicals, fuels, and materials processing. The site is being planned to leverage existing industrial infrastructure and rights-of-way for efficient hydrogen distribution, supporting rapid market adoption and scalability.
In compliance with the EU's regulatory framework for green hydrogen (RED II/RED III/RFNBO), the power supplied to the plant will adhere to stringent sustainability standards. We have measures in place to ensure compliance, safety, and sustainability in our operations. Working alongside expert assurance providers, we verify compliant and safe designs, conduct risk assessments, adhere to industry practices for innovative technologies, and perform sustainability impact studies.
Electricity for the project will be sourced from new and operating UK renewables under long-term arrangements structured to meet LCHS. The hydrogen produced is intended to decarbonise Teesside’s industrial cluster, including chemical feedstock substitution for grey hydrogen and high-temperature industrial heat where direct electrification is challenging. Distribution to customers is planned via a local pipeline network, with potential for future expansion as demand grows.
Teesside Green Hydrogen advances the UK’s transition to low-carbon industry by delivering verifiably low-carbon hydrogen that aligns with LCHS and supports regional net-zero objectives. By pairing PEM technology with traceable renewable power and robust assurance, the project aims to set a benchmark for safe, compliant, and scalable green hydrogen deployment in the UK.
