HyLine Cymru - Pipeline infrastructure for South Wales industry

This technical presentation will take attendees through the journey of the South Wales Industrial Cluster and how Wales & West Utilities came to establish the HyLine Cymru project, what it entails, and plans for further development.

HyLine Cymru will assess the feasibility of a pipeline network from Pembroke to the Swansea Bay area, connecting low carbon hydrogen production with industrial demand and providing options for other natural gas customers. If built, the pipeline will pave the way for commercial scale hydrogen production in Pembrokeshire, Port Talbot and in the Celtic Sea, whilst also providing infrastructure for energy intensive industrial customers to begin fuel-switching their processes to hydrogen in the 2030s or earlier. It could also facilitate the conversion of home heating to hydrogen; enabling South Wales towns to go green while keeping disruption to homes and communities to a minimum, and connect to National Grid’s Project Union, which will establish a National Hydrogen Transmission System to link the UK’s industrial clusters with a dedicated supply system.
