UK Oil & Gas PLC has received support from SGN for its Dorset Hydrogen Storage Project. The project, operated by UK Energy Storage, aims to link with the H2 Connect hydrogen transmission line to facilitate decarbonisation in the Solent Cluster and Southern England. SGN's Regional Development Manager expressed belief in hydrogen's role in decarbonising the national energy system. The project plans to store 3TWh of hydrogen in subsurface salt caverns, providing essential capacity for industry, heating, and transport. The company's application for government Revenue Support requires demonstrating simultaneous development of storage and pipeline connections, which the SGN support helps achieve. UK Oil & Gas PLC emphasizes its commitment to advancing strategic hydrogen storage projects to align with the UK's transition to net zero emissions. The company's CEO highlights the importance of the support from SGN for the project's success in the government's hydrogen storage Allocation Round. This development signifies a positive step towards achieving decarbonisation goals and enhancing the UK's energy infrastructure.
