Transforming East London: Jacobs to Lead Pre-FEED Phase for Hydrogen Pipeline Project
Key Ideas
- Jacobs selected for Pre-FEED phase of the East London Hydrogen Pipeline project, aiming to decarbonize transportation and power sectors in the region.
- Project to extend 56 miles across East London, demonstrating commitment to energy transition and net-zero targets.
- Capital Hydrogen initiative to convert gas pipeline networks for hydrogen use, creating job opportunities and enhancing energy independence.
- Collaboration between Jacobs, Cadent Gas, and Capital Hydrogen to establish reliable hydrogen supply for industries and communities.
Jacobs has been chosen by Cadent Gas to lead the Pre-FEED phase for the East London Hydrogen Pipeline (ELHP) project. This endeavor aims to extend a 56-mile pipeline across East London, contributing to decarbonizing critical sectors like transportation and power generation. The project, crucial for the energy transition efforts in the UK, will establish a hydrogen network in a region historically reliant on carbon-intensive energy sources. Jacobs will provide design, cost analysis, strategic planning, environmental assessments, and stakeholder engagement services to support the project's success and the UK's net-zero targets. The ELHP project is part of Capital Hydrogen's strategy to repurpose gas pipelines for hydrogen utilization, creating job opportunities and offering consumers more energy choices. The collaboration between Jacobs, Cadent Gas, and Capital Hydrogen aims to secure a reliable hydrogen supply for industries and communities in East London. After the Pre-FEED phase, the project will move to the full Front End Engineering Design (FEED) phase to finalize engineering designs. Jacobs' involvement in various energy transition initiatives demonstrates their commitment to transforming energy challenges into opportunities for growth. The ELHP project further enriches Jacobs' portfolio in energy transition solutions.
