Jacobs to Lead Pre-FEED Phase for East London Hydrogen Pipeline Project
Key Ideas
- Jacobs to deliver Pre-FEED phase for the 56-mile East London Hydrogen Pipeline project, aiming to transition gas pipelines into hydrogen supply for industrial zones.
- The pipeline, once operational in 2030, could transport up to 10 tonnes of hydrogen daily, supporting decarbonization efforts and providing energy independence.
- Capital Hydrogen collaboration forecasts job creation, energy independence, and consumer choice benefits from the project, aiming to drive economic growth in the region.
- Cadent Gas highlights the importance of hydrogen in decarbonizing operations along the River Thames, securing a reliable hydrogen supply for a Net Zero future and long-term viability of major employers.
Jacobs has been selected by Cadent Gas on behalf of Capital Hydrogen to lead the Pre-FEED phase for the East London Hydrogen Pipeline (ELHP) project.
