Global professional services provider Worley has secured a contract to perform the pre-FEED (Front End Engineering Design) and technical survey for the East Coast Hydrogen Pipeline (ECHP) project, led by East Coast Hydrogen (ECH2).
The project aims to connect 10GW of hydrogen production between Humber and Teesside industrial hubs to the gas network, potentially creating a 240km network addressing the UK’s future decarbonized energy demands.
Chris Gill said, “We are delighted to be working alongside Cadent to deliver the East Coast Hydrogen Pipeline (ECHP). The project represents an unmissable opportunity for collaboration between the government and the private sector to deliver on the UK’s bold decarbonisation targets.”
Adam Knight commented, “This is a major milestone not only in the first stage of design but also puts down another marker in Cadent’s ambitions and efforts to transition the gas grid from natural gas to low-carbon hydrogen. We look forward to starting this journey with Worley, who shares our vision and strives for a sustainable energy future. With the UK industrial clusters involved known for their considerable industrial emissions, we have a true opportunity to create change and help make a significant difference.”
