Consultation on HyNet North West Hydrogen Pipeline comes to a close

Over 150 people attended the consultation programme of eight in-person events across the region and two webinars. This was the first stage of consultation on the project that took place from 26 January – 11 March 2022.

The consultation offered local people an opportunity to learn more about how the project is being developed and proposals for pipeline route corridors.

Cadent’s proposed HyNet North West Hydrogen Pipeline would take hydrogen produced at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex to industrial users and power generators across the North West. This supports the switch from natural gas to a low-carbon economy in the region. The HyNet North West Pipeline will help to support the reduction in the amount of carbon dioxide per year being emitted into the atmosphere and will also secure existing high-skilled employment in the region, introducing new green jobs for future generations.

Many attendees were keen to understand more about the technology and the benefits that it will bring to the North West. People were also interested to know about the proximity of the pipeline to their homes. Cadent has confirmed that the pipeline would not be routed underneath homes.

There will be a further opportunity for local communities to have their say on the detailed proposed route for the pipeline through a second consultation planned for the autumn.
