My understanding is that Atkins is a highly reputable engineering organisation, recognised worldwide. I understand that they are also employed by Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos, one of UK's most successful people and I would expect he uses the best expertise available to deliver business results.

Good to see UK gov announcement yesterday on hydrogen with this development through the govt owned LCCC.

If you insist, but I think longer term it will be used for hydrogen.

Https://www.h2-view.com/story/belgium-assumes-eu-council-presidency-and-commits-to-international-hydrogen-trade/2104136.article/

Belgium has said it is committed to pushing the international trade of hydrogen and its derivatives, having assumed the rotating presidency of the European Council on Monday (January 1).

Now responsible for the functioning of the Council, the Belgian presidency said it will focus on promoting a “credible certification system and market platforms” to ensure transparency and trigger investments in hydrogen.

The presidency has said it will work with the European Commission on the Hydrogen Bank, among other initiatives, including a “potential EU hydrogen import strategy.”

Additionally, it noted the need for the bloc to “rapidly advance” the development of renewable and low-carbon energy sources and carriers, adding, “Increased investments into an integrated and future-proof energy network is essential to this end.”

Magnora Offshore Wind specifically identified Stornoway Port in their Crown Estates bid

Separately, lots of cruises coming to the port and expect Stornoway Port development (£59m) to complete this year I believe.

So,

Stornoway Port Development, £59m

Belfast Port Development, £140m planned with Flowmis application

Appledore Maritime Innovation Centre £15.6m, plans submitted

Infrastructure investment happening / planned that supports H&W operations 👍

H&W Belfast and Appledore upgrade £77m

“We have entered into more detailed negotiations with the government on the commercial terms of the hydrogen business model support package, which was another step change this year since the first pathway was announced in March."

I see IM as a key enabler, supporting the green energy transition, lowering costs for consumers, supporting NI businesses in being competitive in export markets and the NI economy to grow, providing jobs for the people of Northern Ireland.

Integrating IM with other countries energy systems should enhance energy security and allows NI to participate in wider energy markets.

These benefits may provide further funding opportunities.

Gas/Hydrogen sent to Republic of Ireland must surely be an export.

ESB presentation highlights ambition in terms of offshore wind ( >30 GW), hydrogen production ( >15GW) and hydrogen storage ( 90 Days).

Plenty of info across presentations.

Belfast Harbour presentation confirms Belfast has FLOWMIS application in for port develoment. £140m capex project to be delivered by mid 26.

heavy duty quay capable of supporting floating

offshore wind development in addition to cruise

and project cargo (target delivery by mid 2026)

• Significant capex estimated at £140m.

• Planning consent in place and application

recently submitted into FLOWMIS Funding Grant

Scheme.

• Well located to service floating offshore wind

I will choose to ignore.

Interesting that you give advice on not making snide comments and in the paragraph just above say to Xenor "You clearly have problems with English"

BT, I'm not trying to dictate who invests or comments here. 😃

Happy with my investment and the risk / reward potential it offers for me.

Https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/williams-buy-natural-gas-storage-assets-195-bln-2023-12-27/

Bodes well for Islandmagee salt cavern with both gas and hydrogen storage potential.

BT, if you have so many concerns each week why don't invest elsewhere.

Thanks Scaffman, that would be a good 200m euro contract to win 👍
