Jacobs To Support UK Carbon Capture and Storage Program

Construction News Image
Jacobs has been selected by the UK Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) to provide technical project management support for the Carbon Capture, Usage, and Storage (CCUS) program, a critical component of the UK's goal to achieve a net-zero economy by 2050.

The CCUS initiative aims to decarbonise industries, produce low-carbon energy, and scale up low-carbon hydrogen production. It will drive the transition to a low-carbon economy by developing "clusters" of industrial, power, and hydrogen projects centred around transportation and storage infrastructure.

Jacobs will deliver technical project management, strategic and change management advisory services, data solutions and risk and quality management. Jacobs will also deliver associated strategic support to the Hydrogen and Industrial Carbon Capture program and provide advisory consultancy, end-to-end innovation, design and analytics with strategic partner PA Consulting (PA). For its part, PA will draw on its technology, design and analytics experience to ensure the U.K.’s approach to carbon capture is innovative and impactful.

The contract with DESNZ is for an initial term of two years with an option to extend by up to two additional one-year periods.

"CCUS is an important enabler to the diverse mix of cross-market decarbonisation and energy transition solutions needed to meet net-zero ambitions and enhance the UK's energy security for the future," said Jacobs Senior Vice President Kate Kenny. "We bring technical and strategic program management experience across CCUS projects, critical infrastructure and whole energy systems as the CCUS program drives continued development and scaling in deployment."
