UK Oil & Gas hydrogen storage project receives industry support

 

UK Oil & Gas PLC has announced a major boost for its Dorset hydrogen storage project. Managed by UKOG’s subsidiary UK Energy Storage (UKEn), the planned facility has received a key letter of support (LOS) from The Solent Cluster, the primary group of industries expected to use the facility.

The Solent Cluster is one of six major UK industrial hubs focused on reducing carbon emissions by switching to hydrogen and other low-carbon energy sources.

Located in southern England, it is a significant contributor to the region’s industrial output and carbon emissions. UKEn’s planned hydrogen storage facility is strategically positioned at the cluster’s western edge, making it a crucial part of the area’s decarbonisation efforts.

UKOG boss Stephen Sanderson said: “This further key LOS will help strengthen UKEn’s application for revenue support by providing government and identified potential strategic investors comfort that the project links directly to a major UK industrial user base.

“We look forward to continued collaboration with The Solent Cluster of which we are now a key member.”
