Jacobs, based in Dallas, Texas, has been chosen by Cadent Gas on behalf of Capital Hydrogen to lead the Pre-FEED phase of the East London Hydrogen Pipeline (ELHP) project. This initiative involves the construction of a 56-mile pipeline through East London, aiming to provide a steady supply of hydrogen to major industrial zones. The project is crucial for decarbonizing sectors like transportation and power generation, aligning with global and regional energy transition goals. Jacobs plans to leverage its extensive experience in energy infrastructure to deliver design, cost analysis, strategic planning, and environmental assessment services, setting the project up for future success. The ELHP project, a part of Capital Hydrogen's broader program, is expected to not only reduce carbon emissions in a traditionally carbon-heavy area but also create skilled jobs, enhance energy independence, and offer more options to consumers. The collaboration between Cadent, SGN, and National Grid Gas Transmission under Capital Hydrogen aims to pave the way for a hydrogen network in London. The successful completion of the Pre-FEED phase will lead to the full FEED phase, focusing on final engineering designs for the construction phase. Jacobs' involvement reflects their commitment to energy transition initiatives worldwide, supporting research, feasibility studies, and pilot programs for renewable energy projects. This project adds to their portfolio, which includes work on other energy transition projects like Project Union and the ARCHES Hydrogen Hub.
