Infrastructure solutions company Costain has been tasked to design the Keuper Gas Storage Project (KGSP), an underground hydrogen storage facility in Northwich, Cheshire, UK. Storengy UK, the gas storage developer, awarded the contract to Costain to guide its final investment decision. The project will feature 19 salt caverns and associated hydrogen treatment and transfer facilities, aiming to store approximately 400 million cubic metres of hydrogen. The endeavor is part of the HyNet system, targeting the decarbonization of industry and energy generation in the Northwest of England. Costain's design work will cover various aspects like hydrogen transportation, compression, storage within the caverns, and reintegration into the HyNet system. The project is expected to be completed by 2026 and will contribute to improving the region's energy resilience and economic prosperity. Costain's expertise in engineering and constructing gas storage facilities, coupled with their extensive experience in hydrogen infrastructure, positions them well for this transformative project.
