Costain, an infrastructure solutions company, has been chosen by Storengy UK to design the Keuper Gas Storage Project (KGSP) in Northwich, Cheshire. The facility will comprise 19 salt caverns with hydrogen treatment, compression, dehydration, and transfer facilities. Costain's engineering team will deliver two front-end engineering and design (FEED) contracts to support the project's development. The design will enable the storage of approximately 400 million cubic metres of hydrogen and integrate with the HyNet system in North West England and North Wales. The project involves solution mining to create caverns for hydrogen storage and transportation. Costain's experience in gas storage facilities and hydrogen infrastructure positions them well for this project, scheduled for completion in 2026. The initiative is part of efforts to decarbonize industry and energy generation in the region. Both companies express optimism about the project's potential to contribute to the UK's energy resilience, economic prosperity, and sustainability goals.
