Jacobs has been appointed by the UK Department for Energy Security & Net Zero to deliver technical project management support to the country’s Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage programme.
The programme is intended to facilitate the low carbon transformation of the UK’s industrial base by the creation of clusters of industrial, power and hydrogen projects around transport and storage infrastructure.
Jacobs will deliver technical project management, strategic and change management advisory services, data solutions and risk and quality management. It is also contracted to deliver associated strategic support to the Hydrogen and Industrial Carbon Capture programme and provide advisory consultancy, end-to-end innovation, design and analytics with strategic partner PA Consulting. 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.
Jacobs’ global experience in the emerging CCUS market includes work on deep geological exploration, environmental consenting, design and major programme management of complex, multi-stakeholder infrastructure projects while its portfolio in decarbonisation and energy transition includes delivering strategic route options for the UK’s National Gas, and collaborating with Fortescue Future Industries on its renewables and hydrogen projects, and as programme manager of the ARCHES hydrogen hub in California.
Jacobs holds a 65% stake in PA Consulting, with the remaining 35% held by PA employees. Jacobs and PA operate as separate entities, each responsible for serving clients independently.
