EnergyPathways has unveiled the 'MESH project,' a groundbreaking scheme that plans to utilize wind power generated in the Irish Sea to produce hydrogen and store it in up to 20 salt caverns off the Lancashire coast. This initiative aims to play a pivotal role in advancing the hydrogen economy in the UK by ensuring a reliable supply of natural gas and green hydrogen for multiple sectors over two decades. By connecting hydrogen production with a significant portion of the region's offshore wind capacity, the project seeks to circumvent transmission grid supply constraints and leverage existing gas infrastructure for energy storage. EnergyPathways envisions the MESH project as a crucial contributor to the UK's net zero and energy security objectives. With plans for a final investment decision later in 2021 and operational commencement by late 2027, the company is focused on engaging stakeholders and advancing through the engineering design stages. Ben Clube, the CEO, underscores the project's ambitious nature and the potential it holds for substantial contributions to the UK's energy landscape.
