Cadent has initiated a statutory consultation for the HyNet North West Hydrogen Pipeline project in the UK's North West region. This consultation period will allow local communities to actively participate in shaping the 100 km underground pipeline that will distribute low carbon hydrogen produced at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex. The project, a pivotal part of the HyNet North West scheme, aims to support the UK's transition to a zero-carbon power system by 2030 and reaching net zero emissions. The proposed pipeline network includes key features like Hydrogen Above Ground Installations (HAGIs) and Block Valve Installations (BVIs) to ensure efficient distribution to industrial offtakers. By incorporating community feedback and emphasizing environmental considerations, Cadent strives to create a sustainable infrastructure that promotes job creation and industry development in the region. The project aligns with the UK government's focus on hydrogen, as evidenced by the publication of a Hydrogen Transport and Storage Networks Pathway in 2023. Through this consultation and subsequent application processes, Cadent aims to secure approvals and move towards project implementation, expecting a final decision in 2026.
