SLR supports East Coast Hydrogen partnership

On 20th June 2025, Ofgem announced a major funding award of £96 million for the East Coast Hydrogen partnership; a collaboration between Cadent Gas, National Gas Transmission, and Northern Gas Networks. This funding will support the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) of three strategically important hydrogen pipeline projects.

The investment represents a significant step forward in the UK’s energy transition, enabling the development of a hydrogen pipeline network that will supply low-carbon hydrogen to industrial clusters across Teesside, the Humber, South Yorkshire, and the East Midlands.

SLR is proud to be supporting Cadent alongside our partners at Worley, Fisher German, and Camargue. Our work on the Pre-FEED for Cadent's East Coast Hydrogen North project played a key role in securing this vital funding.

As the project progresses, SLR will continue to support Cadent through the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Development Consent process. Our team will bring forward innovative and sustainable solutions to help deliver this nationally significant infrastructure project.

This funding marks a pivotal moment in the development of the UK’s hydrogen infrastructure. The East Coast Hydrogen initiative is expected to play a vital role in decarbonising heavy industry and supporting the UK’s net zero targets.

SLR is committed to enabling a more sustainable future through our work on transformative energy projects like this one.
