BP withdraws application for hydrogen project in England, WSJ reports

BP (BP) has withdrawn its application for the H2Teesside hydrogen hub in northern England after a planned data center project created a conflict over the same site, The Wall Street Journal’s Adria Calatayud reports. The move clears the way for the competing data center development to proceed at the former steelworks location. “Due to material changes in circumstances on the Teesworks site, including a planning application being granted locally for a data center on the same piece of land, we have taken the decision not to progress the development of H2Teesside and have withdrawn our development consent order application for the project,” BP said.
