A gas storage facility on the Isle of Portland has been considered for many years. In 2008, a project to build salt caverns for natural gas storage received planning approval. UKEn has revived and upgraded this project for the 21st century hydrogen economy, signing a lease with Portland Port and acquiring the Intellectual Property (IP) for the previous project.
The facility’s design has been improved and enhanced to minimise its carbon footprint, make it pure hydrogen ready and capable of full integration with green hydrogen production from offshore and onshore renewables from inception. Its cavern design includes the most modern safety considerations learned primarily from European salt cavern design and operation.
