The development is among the first electrolytic hydrogen projects in the UK to secure a production contract under the UK Government's Hydrogen Production Business Model (HPBM), through the Low Carbon Contracts Company (LCCC) Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1). It represents a key step in scaling domestic low-carbon hydrogen production in support of the UK's Net Zero 2050 ambitions. Kent's comprehensive EPCm services for this project encompass FEED verification, detailed design, with Kent serving as the Principal Designer, strategic procurement and supplier support, and end-to-end construction management. Additionally, Kent will oversee the integration of ITM’s Poseidon modular electrolysers and other key equipment packages. MorGen Energy, a subsidiary of Trafigura, selected Kent following a rigorous competitive tender process, recognising the company's deep expertise in hydrogen project execution and its proven track record of seamless, integrated EPCm delivery. The project will leverage Kent's global engineering and execution excellence, drawing on resources from the company's UK head office in Woking to complement the site teams in Wales. > Michael Collins, SVP Engineering and Consulting at Kent, said: "This project demonstrates how established industrial locations can be repurposed to enable low-carbon hydrogen production at scale. Our role as EPCm partner is to integrate technology, infrastructure and delivery teams to ensure safe, efficient execution. Milford Haven has the infrastructure, industrial demand and strategic positioning to support hydrogen growth, and we are pleased to be supporting MorGen Energy in progressing one of the UK's early HAR1 projects into delivery." The project is located within the Celtic Freeport area and will produce up to 2,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per annum using electrolysers. Hydrogen from the plant will be exported by truck in pressurised containers and via a short (4km) low-pressure pipeline. The facility benefits from established infrastructure, including storage tanks, pipeline networks connecting storage and jetty facilities, and road and rail loading capabilities. Kent's involvement in this transformative project reinforces its reputation as a trusted partner in delivering cutting-edge solutions across the energy spectrum. By supporting local initiatives and enabling sustainable energy applications, this project solidifies Kent's commitment to creating a cleaner, greener future.
