Costain<\/a> has been awarded the concept development and FEED study for the HyNet project hydrogen storage facility in northwest England<\/h2>\n

INOVYN<\/a>, one of the HyNet partners, has appointed Costain to develop the first-of-its-kind hydrogen storage facility.<\/p>\n

HyNet will create the UK\u2019s first full chain, integrated low carbon<\/a> hydrogen supply system of production, distribution network, bulk storage and consumption.<\/p>\n

Dave Richardson, decarbonisation solutions director, said: \u201cThe project will see the development of a hydrogen storage facility in the southern part of the Holford Brinefield in Cheshire storing up to 1.3 TWh of hydrogen underground in salt cavities.<\/p>\n

\u201cExcess hydrogen will be stored here during periods of low demand and discharged onto the network during peak winter periods, balancing supply and demand within the HyNet hydrogen system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Costain will undertake an initial concept study to demonstrate the requirements for the import, storage, and export of hydrogen at the facility. This will form the basis of a targeted front end engineering design (FEED) study package for the hydrogen facility.<\/p>\n

\u2018UK\u2019s potential to become a leading hydrogen economy\u2019<\/h3>\n

Rob Phillips, energy sector director, said: \u201cStoring hydrogen at scale will be key to unlocking the UK\u2019s potential to become a leading hydrogen economy, recently given the green light by the Government\u2019s Hydrogen strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cCostain is committed to accelerating clean energy growth by decarbonising infrastructure delivery, energy systems and the wide scale deployment of hydrogen and carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies as part of our\u00a0Climate Change Action Plan<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
