Costain Awarded Multimillion-Pound Contract for Hydrogen Pipeline Network in Teesside
Key Ideas
  • Costain has been awarded a FEED contract by bp for a new 31 km hydrogen pipeline network in Teesside, UK.
  • The project, part of the East Coast Cluster, aims to be one of the biggest blue hydrogen production facilities in the UK, with the potential to produce 160,000 tpy of low carbon hydrogen.
  • The hydrogen distribution network will displace natural gas consumption by industrial users, contributing to decarbonisation across the region.
  • Technip Energies has also been selected to deliver FEED for the hydrogen production site, marking critical milestones in the project's journey towards construction and decarbonisation goals.
Costain, an infrastructure solutions company, has secured a significant front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract from bp to develop a new hydrogen pipeline network in Teesside, UK. The project involves the construction of a 31 km onshore pipeline distribution network to transport purified and dehydrated hydrogen from bp's upcoming hydrogen production facility to industrial end users. Expected to be completed by 2025, this initiative forms a part of the East Coast Cluster, known as H2Teesside (H2T), set to become a major blue hydrogen production site generating around 160,000 tonnes per year of low carbon hydrogen. The project's primary goal is to displace natural gas usage among industrial consumers, thereby promoting decarbonisation in the region. In parallel, Costain will continue its work on the onshore CO2 pipeline, emphasizing its commitment to sustainability and environmental progress. With a focus on skill development and job creation in Teesside, the project is poised to transform the region into a hub for hydrogen activities, fostering economic growth and well-being. Additionally, Technip Energies' involvement in delivering the FEED for the hydrogen production site signifies a crucial step towards achieving the project's environmental and industrial targets. This collaborative effort led by bp signifies a significant advancement in the UK's transition towards a low-carbon hydrogen economy, with the potential to revolutionize industrial practices and energy consumption patterns in the region.
