UK Oil & Gas agrees lease for second Dorset hydrogen storage site

UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) has agreed a lease with the landowner to develop a second hydrogen storage site in Dorset.

The site is located at the Airfield Business Park in Broadstone and will be used to store hydrogen produced from the nearby Portland Gas Field. The hydrogen will be used to power local homes and businesses, and will help to reduce the UK's reliance on imported fossil fuels.

The lease agreement is a significant step forward for UKOG's plans to develop a hydrogen economy in Dorset. The company already has a lease for a hydrogen storage site at the Wytch Farm oilfield in Hampshire, and is in talks with other landowners to develop further sites in the region.

UKOG's hydrogen storage sites will play a vital role in the UK's transition to a low-carbon economy.

Hydrogen is a clean-burning fuel that produces no emissions when used. It can be produced from a variety of sources, including natural gas, renewable energy, and nuclear power. Hydrogen storage sites are essential for storing the hydrogen and making it available for use when needed.
