Costain, a UK-based construction and engineering company, has been awarded a significant contract by BP to design a new hydrogen pipeline network in Teesside, England. This project is part of BP's H2 Teesside initiative, which aims to establish a large blue hydrogen production facility in the UK. The 31-kilometer onshore pipeline will transport purified hydrogen from BP's planned facility to industrial customers, with the goal of reducing carbon emissions by replacing natural gas. Costain's managing director expressed enthusiasm for the project, highlighting its transformative impact on the region by creating job opportunities and fostering skill development. The company's prior experience in the area, particularly in completing the front-end engineering and design for a carbon dioxide pipeline, played a key role in securing the contract. Alongside Technip Energies, Costain will manage the FEED phase and subsequent engineering, procurement, and construction work. The completion of the FEED phase is scheduled for 2025, marking a significant milestone in the development of sustainable hydrogen infrastructure in the UK.
