Kent Joins FEED Team to Help Deliver the UK’s Hydrogen Future

National Gas PR Banner 1

Kent, a global integrated energy services partner, is proud to announce its support to the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) delivery team for Project Union East Coast, a landmark initiative by National Gas to create a core-hydrogen network across Great Britain.

Kent has joined the expert delivery team, contributing to the two-year FEED phase of Project Union East Coast, led by WSP, acting as FEED Integrator. This multidisciplinary team will deliver the two-year FEED phase, including engineering design, environmental assessment, public consultation, and route consenting, alongside National Gas’s in-house experts and other appointed specialists.

As part of this team, Kent will contribute its extensive experience in end-to-end project delivery and engineering design, helping to shape the infrastructure required to support a hydrogen economy across the UK.

Usman Darr, Managing Director of Engineering UK at Kent, said:

“We are proud to support National Gas and WSP on this crucial step toward decarbonising the UK’s energy system. Project Union represents exactly the kind of future-forward infrastructure we specialise in: technically complex, low-carbon focused, and strategically vital. We’re committed to applying our global expertise to ensure the success of this pioneering initiative.”

Project Union will initially connect key industrial clusters in the Humber and Teesside regions, eventually forming a 1,500-mile core hydrogen network capable of transporting 100% hydrogen. This network will be vital in reducing industrial emissions, supporting clean growth, protecting jobs and advancing the UK’s Net Zero targets.

Kent brings to the programme over a century of engineering excellence and a track record of delivery in complex, regulated energy environments. Kent’s involvement in Project Union East Coast reflects its ongoing commitment to enabling the energy transition by repurposing and building infrastructure that will fuel the UK’s hydrogen future.
