Wood has been awarded a contract to conduct a front-end engineering design (FEED) study for Centrica's hydrogen storage project in the UK. The project involves transforming the Rough field, previously used for natural gas storage, into a hydrogen storage facility. This initiative aligns with the UK's energy transition goals towards decarbonization. The contract encompasses the development of new pipelines, an unmanned installation, and onshore injection facilities at the Easington Gas Terminal to enable the site to handle hydrogen storage. If successful, this project could potentially address more than half of the UK's hydrogen storage requirements, supporting the country's long-term energy security and decarbonization commitments. Wood emphasizes the importance of hydrogen, offshore wind, and carbon capture and storage in achieving the UK's Net Zero ambition. Martin Scargill from CES highlights the readiness to invest in future-proofing the asset pending regulatory support models. The article also mentions the Labour Party's pledge to allocate £500m towards the green hydrogen sector if they win the General Election, aiming to boost investments in carbon capture, hydrogen, and marine energy for sustainable energy storage solutions.
