Jacobs to Lead Pre-FEED for 56-Mile East London Hydrogen Pipeline
(P&GJ) — Jacobs has been chosen by Cadent Gas, on behalf of Capital Hydrogen, to lead the Pre-Front End Engineering Design (Pre-FEED) phase for the East London Hydrogen Pipeline (ELHP) project.
Spanning 56 miles (90 kilometers) through East London, the pipeline will run north of the River Thames, linking key industrial areas to a reliable hydrogen supply. The project aims to help decarbonize sectors such as transportation and power generation, playing a significant role in the region's energy transition.
Jacobs will provide Pre-FEED design, cost analysis, strategic planning, environmental assessments, and engagement services, leveraging decades of energy experience. These efforts are expected to set the foundation for the project's success, ultimately supporting the UK’s net zero goals by reducing emissions in a traditionally carbon-heavy region.
The ELHP is part of Capital Hydrogen's broader initiative to transition London’s gas networks to hydrogen, with the potential to create skilled jobs, enhance energy independence, and offer greater consumer choice. Capital Hydrogen is a joint effort between Cadent, SGN, and National Grid Gas Transmission.
"Our hydrogen teams work collaboratively across geographies and sectors, turning transformational ideas into intelligent solutions to create a cleaner energy future for all," said Jacobs Vice President James Nash. "This project builds on our longstanding relationship with Cadent and propels this crucial East London decarbonization project to benefit the community and industry in the area."
Cadent Strategy Director Angela Needle added, "Hydrogen is essential to decarbonize operations along the north bank of the River Thames. By ensuring a secure and reliable supply of hydrogen, we're not only supporting the transition to a net zero future but also helping to secure the long-term viability of these major employers, safeguarding and creating jobs, and driving economic growth in the region."
After the Pre-FEED phase, the project will move into full FEED, where final engineering designs will be prepared for construction.
