SGN's Regional Development Manager Graham Cox said:
"We believe hydrogen has a key role in decarbonising the national energy system and support UKEn's proposed hydrogen storage facility in Dorset.
This project has the potential to store 3TWh* of hydrogen in subsurface constructed salt caverns and is essential to decarbonising the Solent Cluster and Southern England. This hydrogen storage will provide inter-seasonal capacity, security of supply and pipeline stability for our proposed development of hydrogen pipelines in the region.
It will enable the end use of hydrogen across industry, heating and transport, help meet growing regional energy demand, and support the transition to net zero emissions."
This second LOS is thus a further key step for the Company's planned application for government hydrogen storage Revenue Support (see RNS 29th May 2024), as successful applicants must not only identify potential storage users but must also demonstrate via LOS that its hydrogen storage is being developed in tandem with pipeline connections, so that key enablers of the UK's new hydrogen system can be delivered simultaneously ...
