Culture home BP has shelved plans to build a major hydrogen project in Teesside in a fresh blow to Ed Miliband’s net zero plans. The oil giant withdrew its request to the Government on Monday to build the project after it clashed with separate plans backed by Sir Keir Starmer to construct the largest data centre in Europe. It comes after Downing Street selected a former steel site in Teesside as the home for its second AI Growth Zone, with Labour banking on the technology to help turbocharge the economy. The two proposed sites were earmarked on overlapping plots of land, pitting the Energy Secretary – who was relying on the BP project to meet his net zero ambitions – against the Prime Minister and Peter Kyle, the Business Secretary.
