Gas player sets up energy transition team – reNews

[ad_1]

Gas industry duty holder PX Group has set up a dedicated team that will work with companies across industrial, energy and manufacturing as well as at critical national infrastructure sites to reduce emissions.

PX Group is responsible for processing 30% of UK gas and operates complex industrial sites, including the St Fergus Gas Terminal, Scotland and Teesside Gas Processing Plant.

It also owns Saltend Chemicals Park, Hull, which will soon be home to one of the UK’s first clean hydrogen plants at the centre of the Zero Carbon Humber partnership.

PX Group claimed this makes it one of very few infrastructure services businesses that has the experience and knowledge to help customers deliver the industrial and energy transition efficiently and commercially.

PX Group said it is already involved in, and will be able to leverage expertise from, cutting-edge projects that will decarbonise UK industry.

The company is owner’s engineer on the  MGT Teesside project, the world’s largest dedicated biomass plant and Saltend will soon be home to Pensana, which is building one of the world’s first rare earth separation facilities that produces materials for use in wind turbines and as well as electric cars.

In Scotland, Project Acorn, the Blue Hydrogen project, is also located at the px-operated St Fergus facility.

PX Group recently received investment from the Aksiom Services Group, a partnership between The Aksiom Group and Ara Partners, specialising in industrial decarbonisation investments.

The new Energy Transition business unit will be led by David Henderson, who moves across from his previous role as chief commercial officer at PX Group and will be announcing an expanded team shortly.

Henderson said, “Energy Transition will be faster and more far-reaching than most people realise, and it will impact every aspect of business. Improved ESG credentials will be essential for attracting investment, for protecting a licence to operate, or for extending the life of an asset.

“And of course highly regulated industries face particular challenges to make this transition whilst meeting the requirements of the competent authorities.”
