Worley has been awarded a front end engineering design (FEED) contract for the first phase of Statera’s ground-breaking 3 GW Kintore Hydrogen project in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, the company said.
Once operational the project will be the largest renewable (green) hydrogen project in Europe. Securing Aberdeenshire’s position at the heart of the renewable hydrogen economy while providing flexible capacity and energy security to the wider UK. Work will be led by our Aberdeen office.
Kintore Hydrogen was a successful applicant in the UK government’s Net Zero Hydrogen Fund (NZHF) Strand 1 competition in March 2023. Receiving funding for the FEED, planning and consenting work for the initial 500 MW phase.
The project aims to harness surplus electricity generated by Scotland’s offshore wind resources to produce renewable hydrogen, which will play a critical role in decarbonizing power generation facilities and carbon-intensive industrial clusters across the country.
The proposed FEED study has a target completion date in 2024 and the project will be ready for a final investment decision in 2025. The full 3 GW of production is expected to be online by the 2030s.
