Revolutionary hydrogen pipeline to create 10,000 new jobs

£700M PROJECT WILL POWER BUSINESSES WITH CLEAN ENERGY

A HYDROGEN pipeline, which will revolutionise energy consumption across the UK, will be powered in north Nottinghamshire.

Energy company Cadent revealed the news at the “East Midlands Hydrogen” exhibition on Thursday.

The East Coast Hydrogen Pipeline (EHCP) will originate from the Humber Estuary in East Yorkshire and be connected to the HyMarnham hydrogen production site near Newark.

The site, which operates where the High Marnham coal power station stood until it was decommisioned in 2003 and demolished in 2011, is run by GeoPura and JG Pears and produces hydrogen power.

Through its connection to north Nottinghamshire, the pipeline will be able to supply local businesses with hydrogen power, allowing them to transition away from using carbon-heavy energy sources that are bad for the environment and unsustainable due to finite supplies.
