THE final stage of a call for a 1.5km hydrogen gas pipeline in Pembrokeshire has been given the go-ahead by the national park.

Late last year, Pembrokeshire County Council approved a scheme by MorGen Energy Ltd, (formerly H2 Energy Europe) for a 1.5km six-inch 10-bar low-pressure hydrogen pipeline and associated Above Ground Installation at the Impala Terminal, Milford Haven to the South Hook Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) Terminal.

A supporting statement through agent Fisher German said the scheme crossed both Pembrokeshire County Council and the national park authorities.

A national park officer report said its section of the pipeline “is a linear parcel of land comprising approximately 0.994 hectares,” adding: “It is mainly the location of a disused railway, now overgrown with scrub and grassland, in the open countryside.”

The national park side was conditionally approved by planners.
