In the UK, Wales & West Utilities (WWU) has launched its HyLine South West feasibility study to understand how the hydrogen infrastructure could support the region’s renewable energy resources, whilst offering a resilient pathway for decarbonization.
This project will enable hard-to-abate industries, such as minerals and defense, to decarbonize and support the UK’s Net Zero targets, and Wales & West Utilities sustainability ambitions.
HyLine South West will assess the design and delivery of the region’s first dedicated hydrogen pipeline, linking production hubs – including those powered by Floating Offshore Wind (FLOW) in the Celtic Sea and proposed HAR1 & HAR2 projects – to high-emission industrial users, the company said.
The study will also explore integration with WWU’s innovative hydrogen storage solutions, including Lined Rock Caverns.
James Adams, Wales & West Utilities Net Zero Project Manager for the South West, said: “The South West has huge potential to generate clean hydrogen for use in some of the most difficult decarbonization challenges. Understanding the infrastructure required to move, and store, that hydrogen will be a critical milestone in our journey to a net zero gas network.
