EnergyPathways' MESH Project: Revolutionizing Offshore Gas and Hydrogen Storage in the UK
Key Ideas
- EnergyPathways' MESH project in the East Irish Sea aims to provide natural gas and green hydrogen for over 25 years, approved by Britain's North Sea Transition Authority.
- The Marram Energy Storage Hub, located off the Lancashire coast, is set to be the UK's largest energy storage facility, storing over 500 MM therms, expected to begin production in 2029.
- The project prioritizes decarbonization and zero emissions, powered by local wind farms in the Irish Sea, with consulting support from PDi and project lead engineering by Wood.
- The approval for license operatorship for Block 110/4a enables EnergyPathways to proceed with the field development plan and environmental statement preparation, a significant step towards achieving their energy storage goals.
EnergyPathways has received approval from Britain's North Sea Transition Authority to operate the MESH (Marram Energy Storage Hub) project in the East Irish Sea, 11 miles off the Lancashire coast in northwest England. This project aims to establish a secure and reliable supply of natural gas and green hydrogen for more than 25 years. The company plans to develop the UK's largest energy storage facility, capable of storing over 500 MM therms, with production slated to commence by the end of 2029. MESH is designed to be fully decarbonized and powered by local wind farms, emphasizing zero emissions. EnergyPathways has partnered with consultants PDi for engineering studies and Wood as the project lead engineering partner. The approval for license operatorship for Block 110/4a is a significant milestone that allows EnergyPathways to move forward with the field development plan and environmental statement preparation, bringing them closer to realizing their ambitious energy storage objectives.
