Carbon Capture at Hydrogen Plant
British Petroleum P.L.C. plans to solicit bids for a $2 billion hydrogen power plant, the world's first industrial-scale facility of its kind.
The 400-megawatt Hydrogen Power Abu Dhabi project, a joint venture between B.P. and Masdar. The facility is designed to capture upto 90 percent of the carbon dioxide generated by the plant. B.P. plans to inject 1.7 million tons of carbon dioxide captured annually in oil fields in Abu Dhabi.
Hydrogen plants use fossil fuels like natural gas and split them into hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The hydrogen gas is used to generate electricity while the heat-trapping gas is captured and stored underground. The plant will receive natural gas from the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, which will also buy the carbon dioxide separated through the process.

It is more conventional to use the term carbon capture and storage to describe non-biological processes of capturing carbon dioxide from combustion at the source.
CCS applied to a modern conventional power plant could reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere by approximately 80-90% compared to a plant without CCS.
Carbon dioxide capture and storage is more commonly proposed on plants burning coal in oxygen extracted from the air, which means the CO2 is highly concentrated and no scrubbing process is necessary.
The bicarbonate approach would reduce the pH effects and enhance the retention of CO2 in the ocean, but this would also increase the costs and other environmental effects.
A major concern with CCS is whether leakage of stored CO2 will compromise CCS as a climate change mitigation option.
