Why Hydrogen?
Hydrogen is a game-changing source of energy that can be used as both a raw material for industry and as a clean power source for transport, industry, business and electricity generation when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining.
The North West is seen as a key location for hydrogen production and carbon capture, due to its natural assets and established, energy intensive industries that need to cut their carbon emissions.
The KGSP will connect to HyNet North West and support the delivery of the project through the storage of hydrogen. HyNet is the regional hydrogen and carbon capture project planned to produce, store and transport hydrogen via Cadent’s HyNet North West pipeline around the North West of England and North Wales – helping to decarbonise our industries from the mid-2020s. By 2030, HyNet will reduce carbon dioxide emission by 10 million tonnes every year, the equivalent of taking 4 million cars off the road.
