Gas distribution company, Cadent, has revealed plans for a “blue hydrogen” pipeline across the north of England.
The gas giant, owned by a syndicate of firms led by investment bank Macquarie, has said the project will be “the first building block in a wider network” of hydrogen pipelines across the UK.
It comes just days after energy secretary Ed Miliband pledged £22bn in government funding towards carbon capture projects.
The 60-mile underground pipeline, named Hynet will run from a hydrogen plant near Ellesmere Port and into nearby factories in Cheshire. The scheme is said to be a UK-first, serving customers such as Tata Chemicals, Heineken, and Kraft Heinz.
