Project Union - Energising Britain - National Gas

In the coming weeks you may receive a letter about the Project Union Pipeline

If you’ve been contacted regarding the Project Union hydrogen pipeline, you’re likely asking the same questions many landowners are:

  • How will this affect my land and farming operation?
  • What rights does the promoter have?
  • What should I be doing now?

At DDM Agriculture, we are already advising clients across the region and can help you understand what this could mean for your property and business.

 

The Project at a Glance

Project Union will create a hydrogen pipeline network to energise British industry, which will power growth, protect and create jobs, and deliver energy security.

National Gas owns and operates the 5,000 mile National Transmission System, which has transported gas the length and breadth of Great Britain for more than 60 years. Regular upgrades and innovations have made the network one of the safest and most reliable in Europe. Project Union is the next step in the evolution of National Gas.

Some existing pipelines will be repurposed and new pipelines will be built to create up to a 1,500-mile national hydrogen network, transporting 100% hydrogen across Great Britain.

Hydrogen is used every day to power industry and our industries already help move it around sites.

The network will grow the existing hydrogen economy by driving home-grown hydrogen production and ensuring continued supply through storage – helping to increase the UK’s energy security. Hydrogen will complement other energy sources, helping power industry for future generations.

 

The scheme is expected to include:

  • A buried pipeline
  • Temporary construction compounds and access routes
  • Areas of permanent easement
  • Sections of above-ground infrastructure

The project is currently in its early stages, with the developer currently asking clients to enter a 12 month Non-Intrusive survey license where they are looking to determine the route of the project.
