Supporting the UK’s energy transition via a new hydrogen hub in Aberdeen
Following the recent financial investment decision (FID) and secured funding for the planned Aberdeen Hydrogen Hub in Scotland, we will continue to support with the delivery of the project through a multi-disciplinary role.
The Aberdeen Hydrogen Hub will be a scalable green hydrogen production, storage and distribution facility powered by renewable energy.
Aberdeen City Council and bp have formed a joint venture – under the name of bp Aberdeen Hydrogen Energy Ltd – to deliver the project that our team has supported since May 2022. To date, we have provided cost and commercial management, project controls and specialist procurement services, supporting the business case needed to secure the recent FID.
Our continued role on the project will see us deliver cost management and scheduling services.
It follows the work that our team undertook on Port of Aberdeen. The expanded Port of Aberdeen forms a key gateway to the Energy Transition Zone where the Aberdeen Hydrogen Hub will be located. This area to the eastern side of Aberdeen has been earmarked to create an energy cluster with ambitions of transforming the region into the ‘Net Zero Capital of Europe’ by supporting the development of new, green offshore energies.
Alan Sinclair, Head of Energy and Natural Resources, UK commented:
“We are delighted to see this project reach such an important milestone. The planned hub will not only become a catalyst for hydrogen production across the UK but cultivate the green economy in Aberdeen.”
This contract supports the UK’s ambition to be a leader in green technologies and can play an important role in accelerating the skills and technology we need for a network of similar facilities across the UK and the globe.
“Our combined expertise in commercial and programme management means that we are well positioned to support on this project and bring the learning to other hydrogen and clean energy production facilities across the UK to support the Government’s net-zero vision.”
