Energy & Power @ Tata Steel

🚀 ABP is delighted to announce that our webpage dedicated to ABP’s Future Port Talbot programme is now live! The page provides comprehensive details about our ambitious plans for transforming Port Talbot into a major hub for floating offshore wind (FLOW) and green energy development. Key highlights of the Future Port Talbot programme: ✅ Floating Offshore Wind Hub: The port will be the central location for the manufacturing, assembly, and integration of FLOW projects in the Celtic Sea. ✅ Sustainable energy development: Starting with LanzaTech's sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facility, with future plans for hydrogen and carbon capture facilities. ✅ Strategic location: Ideal tidal conditions, deep-water harbour, and proximity to emerging offshore wind opportunities, supported by a skilled workforce. ✅ Part of the Celtic Freeport: Shortlisted as one of Wales’s first two freeports, aiming to drive innovation, investment, and skills for green industries. ✅ FLOWMIS recognition: Advanced to the primary list phase of the UK Government’s Floating Offshore Wind Manufacturing Investment Scheme (FLOWMIS), unlocking significant investment potential. ✅ Community and heritage: Committed to protecting and enhancing the local area and heritage, while delivering economic regeneration and environmental improvements. Join us in this journey to revolutionise Port Talbot and drive a sustainable future for South Wales.

It’s great to be able to finally share some positive news that through a collaboration between Marine Power Systems Ltd (MPS), Associated British Ports, Ledwood Mechanical Engineering Ltd and Swansea University we have secured some external funding via Innovate UK to support design development of the PelaFlex platform to maximise the use of ‘Green Steel’ from Tata Steel UK in Port Talbot. Huge thanks to the whole team that worked so hard to submit a quality bid, but we know that the hard work starts now. If you want to know more about this project then please reach out to myself or Graham Foster for more information, or better still, listen to a podcast, expertly hosted by Tim Rutter! I’ll also be at RenewableUK’s Global Offshore Wind Conference in Manchester over the next couple of days, so don’t hesitate to drop me a line. Derick Smart | Neal Wyman | Andy Reay

In preparation for sharing the news that our H2-ready line pipe has been tested and approved to ASME B31.12 (2019) option B in 100% Hydrogen, we’ll be showing IGEM - Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers around the Hartlepool 20” mill this morning.

Associated British Ports in Port Talbot are not only working on being ready to support the Celtic Sea’s floating offshore wind (FLOW), being ready for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is another important project in Port Talbot - with jobs being created already from the construction phase.

Rt Hon David TC Davies MP, Secretary of State for Wales, said: “I was delighted to attend the reception and to support the work of the Anglesey and Celtic Freeports... I believe that Wales can be at the forefront of the UK’s net zero transition... the Celtic Freeport has the potential to develop new manufacturing facilities and major port infrastructure to support the roll-out of floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea..." #celticsea #ukfreeports

🌍100% Hydrogen Flowed at FutureGrid, a World First!   We’re proud to announce that, in a world first, we have successfully demonstrated 100% hydrogen in our high-pressure gas transmission pipes at our ground-breaking hydrogen test facility, FutureGrid. Based at DNV Spadeadam, a research and test facility in Cumbria, this is a significant milestone in our mission towards decarbonising the UK’s energy mix on our journey to achieving the government’s net zero target.   By achieving a 100% flow of hydrogen in existing natural gas assets, we are advancing our technical capabilities and demonstrating that hydrogen can be transported safely in our existing infrastructure.   Also, as we celebrate, we are excited to share that we are breaking ground on the progression of the next phases of FutureGrid, with a 1km hydrogen compression test loop and the addition of a deblending system that will allow hydrogen refuelling of assets at the facility itself.   Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to push boundaries and drive innovation in the pursuit of a greener tomorrow.🌱   #NationalGas #SustainableEnergy #Innovation #Hydrogen #NetZero #EnergyIndustry #Sustainability #Partnership
