Received a Letter About the H2East (Humber to Nottinghamshire) Pipeline?

If you’ve been contacted regarding the H2East 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

Cadent, the UK’s largest gas distribution network, is promoting the H2East hydrogen pipeline.

The proposed route is approximately 150 kilometres, running from the Humber to Nottinghamshire. It forms the first phase of a wider network intended to connect major industrial areas across the North, East and Midlands.

The aim of the project is to enable manufacturers to transition from natural gas to lower-carbon hydrogen as part of the UK’s decarbonisation strategy.

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 licence where they are looking to determine the route of the project.
