LONDON - EnergyPathways plc (AIM:EPP) has engaged Siemens (ETR:SIEGn) Energy Limited to conduct a feasibility assessment for its MESH project, an integrated energy storage and decarbonization initiative, according to a company press release issued Monday.
The assessment aims to identify optimal technical, financial, and business solutions for the MESH system, which is designed to provide low to zero-carbon dispatchable electricity to the UK grid. The project intends to enhance the country’s energy security and flexibility through comprehensive assessment of market requirements and technological pathways.
MESH (Multiple Energy Storage Hub) is planned as a large-scale facility combining natural gas, compressed air, and hydrogen storage technologies. The system is designed to harness curtailed offshore wind power and convert it into flexible power supply. The project targets storage capacity of up to 20 TWh of energy.
Ben Clube, CEO of EnergyPathways, stated that the engagement represents "another engagement by EnergyPathways with a Tier-1 energy company" as the firm works to deliver energy solutions for the UK.
The MESH project aims to utilize salt cavern storage for compressed air and hydrogen, alongside natural gas storage in offshore field reservoirs. During periods of low renewable energy availability, these stored resources would be used to generate electricity through various methods including gas turbines and compressed air expansion.
Siemens Energy, which employs around 100,000 people globally including over 6,500 in the UK and Ireland, brings expertise in compressed air systems, electrical gas compression systems, and integrated energy systems to the project.
The company’s technology portfolio covers conventional and renewable energy technologies, including gas and steam turbines, hybrid power plants operated with hydrogen, and power generators and transformers.
