The Kraft Heinz Co. has signed an agreement with Carlton Power to study the development of a renewable green hydrogen plant at its Kitt Green manufacturing plant in Wigan, Greater Manchester, UK.
The proposed 20MW Kit Green hydrogen plant will meet more than 50% of the plant’s annual natural gas demand and reduce the plant’s carbon emissions by 16,000T/yr. The hydrogen will be produced by an electrolyzer using electricity generated from sources of renewable energy, primarily wind and solar power.
