Wales & West Utilities has launched a feasibility study to assess how hydrogen infrastructure could support renewable energy resources in the South West while offering a pathway for decarbonisation.
The HyLine South West study will assess the design and delivery of the region’s first dedicated hydrogen pipeline, linking production hubs – including those powered by Floating Offshore Wind in the Celtic Sea and proposed HAR1 & HAR2 projects – to high-emission industrial users.
The project aims to enable hard-to-abate industries, such as minerals and defence, to decarbonise and support the UK’s net zero targets.

The University of Bath is to play a key role in helping net-zero aviation to get off the ground through an academic-led link-up with a measurement technology developer.
The university has entered the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with specialist UK firm Druck – part of US advanced engineering giant Crane – to develop the world’s first flight-certified cryogenic hydrogen pressure sensor.
With aviation accounting for more than 8% of the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions, Hydrogen is increasingly being viewed one of the most promising solutions to decarbonising air travel.
The flight-certified sensors being developed through the KTP will be accurately measure pressures in liquid hydrogen (LH₂) storage and conveyance systems for hydrogen-powered aircraft at extreme cryogenic temperatures, far beyond current aerospace sensor limits.
