Miners Road, Wrexham, UK is one of Terra Firma Energy's flexible generating projects and part of their larger portfolio of flexible generating assets powered by Hydrogen ready gen sets.
This crucial proof-of-concept not only underscores industry confidence in hydrogen as a viable clean energy carrier but also complements Terra Firma Energy's own strategic infrastructure, which is fully hydrogen-ready and primed to support the flexible energy transition.
Key Highlights
- SGN's Achievement
SGN's live trial, repurposing a 30 km stretch of the Local Transmission System for hydrogen transport, validates the feasibility of hydrogen-ready gas infrastructure in the UK. This breakthrough aligns with the broader energy strategy of decarbonising flexible generation and storage solutions. - Terra Firma Energy: Hydrogen-Ready and Ready to Act
All of Terra Firma Energy's generation sites are specifically equipped to transition to hydrogen fuel. Our use of hydrogen-compatible generation equipment ensures that we can step up as hydrogen's role in decarbonising the grid grows. This positions Terra Firma Energy not just as an observer, but as a partner in the hydrogen-enabled shift. - Accelerating the Clean Energy Transition
SGN's achievement sets an important precedent. With Terra Firma Energy's hydrogen-ready infrastructure, we stand prepared to bridge the gap between pilot demonstration and full-scale deployment, accelerating the adoption of low-carbon dispatchable power across the UK.
