AtkinsRealis, a global engineering services and nuclear company, has secured a Project Management Office (PMO) contract from the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association (PNWHA) to oversee the development of a clean hydrogen network in the Pacific Northwest. The project, managed from AtkinsRealis' Technology Center in Richland, Washington, aims to replace fossil fuels in hard-to-decarbonize sectors. AtkinsRealis will provide oversight and reporting services to the United States Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED). Joe St. Julian, President of AtkinsRealis Nuclear, highlighted the crucial role of hydrogen energy in the journey towards net zero emissions and emphasized the company's expertise in guiding clients through the evolving global energy market. AtkinsRealis will manage the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub (PNWH2) contract, which is a recipient of funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act. The PNWH2 project is anticipated to create over 10,000 jobs in Washington, Oregon, and Montana, offering economic opportunities and enhancing energy security in the region. AtkinsRealis' significant experience in managing DOE programs and implementing hydrogen projects globally were instrumental in securing the contract. The company's proven track record along the entire hydrogen value chain, coupled with its focus on reducing clients' technology and economic risks, positions it as a trusted partner in the transition to net zero. The Department of Energy (DOE) has outlined plans to establish several regional clean hydrogen hubs across the US, aiming to accelerate the adoption of clean energy solutions. AtkinsRealis, with its commitment to sustainable engineering and extensive capabilities in the energy sector, is set to play a pivotal role in advancing the hydrogen economy and supporting the nation's clean energy goals.
