Wood, a global consulting and engineering leader, has secured a significant contract from Centrica Energy Storage (CES) to transform the UK's Rough field into a hydrogen storage facility. The Rough reservoir, historically used for natural gas storage, is set to play a crucial role in the UK's transition to cleaner energy sources. Wood will lead the front-end engineering design (FEED) for the project, overseeing the development of vital infrastructure at the Easington Gas Terminal. Both companies express optimism about the project's contribution to the UK's energy security and decarbonisation commitments. While CES aims to make the Rough field the world's largest long-duration hydrogen storage facility, the project's progression is contingent on establishing a supportive regulatory framework for gas storage investments in the UK. The partnership between Wood and CES not only aligns with the UK's goals for net-zero emissions but also signals progress in sustainable energy solutions and job creation in the region.
