ERM, a leading sustainability consultancy, played a crucial role in supporting SSE and Equinor to secure planning consent for the groundbreaking Aldbrough Hydrogen Pathfinder project in the UK. This project, located in East Yorkshire, aims to produce hydrogen through an electrolyser powered by green energy obtained through a Power Purchase Agreement. The hydrogen will then be stored and used in a hydrogen-fired gas turbine to generate flexible green power for the grid during peak demand periods. Beyond power generation, the project plans to leverage hydrogen storage for various sectors such as industry, heat, and transport. Additionally, ERM is actively involved in facilitating the approval processes for other hydrogen projects like the Aldbrough Hydrogen Storage initiative and the Humber Hydrogen Pipeline, which will establish a comprehensive low carbon hydrogen network connecting producers and users in the region. Key figures from ERM, including Russell Cullen and Sally O'Brien, expressed enthusiasm for contributing to this innovative project that sets the stage for broader hydrogen power applications. Their collaborative efforts with SSE and Equinor demonstrate a commitment to advancing the UK's low-carbon economy goals and navigating the energy transition successfully. ERM's technical expertise played a pivotal role in steering the complex planning application process, which was essential for obtaining consent for the Aldbrough Hydrogen Pathfinder project. The project's approval signifies a significant advancement in the UK's hydrogen industry and heralds a promising future for sustainable energy generation and utilization.
