UK Oil & Gas PLC's subsidiary, UK Energy Storage, has entered into Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with Portland Port Limited to collaborate on green hydrogen initiatives in Dorset. The project involves generating 1 GW of green hydrogen through imports and electrolysis, with the aim of addressing renewable energy intermittency by utilizing UKEn's South Dorset salt cavern storage. This venture, if successful, could establish one of the few national-scale hydrogen hubs in the UK, integrating storage, production, and distribution capabilities. The proximity of UKEn's storage site to Portland Port provides a strategic advantage for importing and storing green hydrogen, with the potential to meet the region's future hydrogen demand. The project also includes plans to leverage offshore wind energy for hydrogen generation and storage, enhancing energy sustainability and reliability. UKEn's pursuit of government revenue support aligns with the UK's objectives to decarbonize the power system by 2030, positioning the company as a key player in the energy transition. The collaboration with Portland Port signifies a significant step towards creating a leading renewable energy hub in Southern England, contributing to regional decarbonization efforts and energy security. Stephen Sanderson, UKOG's Chief Executive, expressed optimism about the project's national importance and potential revenue support, highlighting the synergy between green hydrogen initiatives and offshore wind power. Portland Port's General Manager, Ian McQuade, emphasized the port's commitment to becoming a prominent renewable energy hub on the south coast. The proposed green hydrogen hub in Dorset represents a strategic development in the UK's energy landscape, aiming to leverage sustainable energy sources and storage solutions to meet future energy demands while advancing decarbonization efforts.
