Tallgrass Energy Partners and Equinor ASA are studying the production and market potential for large-scale hydrogen and ammonia projects, along with associated distribution infrastructure, across the United States.

Under a memorandum of understanding, Tallgrass and Equinor agreed to initial co-development activities, which include funding of a front-end engineering and design study. The research would focus on large-scale hydrogen production, incorporating a way to capture a minimum 95% of the carbon dioxide (CO2) for permanent sequestration. It also would explore ammonia’s for transportation and storage.

“The magnitude of annual emissions reductions from our potential regional energy centers equates to eliminating the CO2 emissions of over one-third of the total...
