ERM Supports UK's First Hydrogen-to-Power Project with Planning Consent
Key Ideas
- ERM assisted SSE and Equinor in securing planning consent for the Aldbrough Hydrogen Pathfinder project in the UK.
- The project involves producing hydrogen via an electrolyser, storing it, and using it in a hydrogen-fired gas turbine to export green power back to the grid.
- ERM is also involved in the consenting process for the Aldbrough Hydrogen Storage project and the Humber Hydrogen Pipeline project, aiming to connect regional producers and users to a low carbon hydrogen network.
- Russell Cullen from ERM expressed excitement about supporting the project, which sets a path for broader hydrogen power deployment and helps the UK achieve its low-carbon economy goals.
ERM, the world’s largest specialist sustainability consultancy, supported SSE and Equinor's Aldbrough Hydrogen Pathfinder project in securing planning consent, making it the first hydrogen-to-power project in the UK with this achievement. The project, located in East Yorkshire, will utilize an electrolyser to produce hydrogen, store it, and then use it in a hydrogen-fired gas turbine to provide flexible green power to the grid. ERM's involvement extends to supporting other hydrogen projects like the Aldbrough Hydrogen Storage and Humber Hydrogen Pipeline, aiming to establish a low carbon hydrogen network. Russell Cullen highlighted the significance of this project in advancing hydrogen power deployment and aiding the UK in realizing its low-carbon economy objectives. Sally O'Brien, a Senior Project Manager, praised ERM's technical expertise in navigating the planning application process successfully. ERM, with its vast experience and global team, collaborates with clients worldwide to integrate sustainability into their business operations effectively.
