Tallgrass —headquartered in Leawood, Kan. — has partnered with Equinor to advance large-scale, low- or zero-carbon energy solutions in North America.
The partner companies agreed to joint funding of a front-end engineering and design study, focused on hydrogen production that incorporates the capture and isolation of 95% of CO2, coupled with ammonia for efficient transportation and storage.
In a press release, the companies shared that developments in the U.S. show the nation’s dedication to low- or zero-carbon energy solutions, in pursuit of the positive impact a full-scale hydrogen economy could have in providing clean energy.
“The joint initiative with Tallgrass to launch plans for a large-scale clean ammonia value chain in the US is fully in line with the roadmap of making Equinor carbon neutral by 2050,” said
Grete Tveit, senior vice president for Low Carbon Solutions at Equinor. “It builds on complementary experience in both companies and the common aspiration to take a leading role in the global energy transition.”
Tallgrass’ Segment President Dustin Bashford expressed the company’s excitement about the partnership as part of its continual efforts to facilitate broad decarbonization.
“Equinor has shown tremendous leadership in global energy development,” said Bashford. “At Tallgrass, we are equally focused on innovative solutions that propel investment in decarbonization and renewables and advance solutions that can rapidly expand North America’s clean energy supply chain.”
