CCUS will help decarbonize industry, generate low-carbon energy, and enable low-carbon hydrogen production at scale. The program will facilitate the low carbon transformation of the U.K.'s industrial base by creating "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. Jacobs will also provide associated strategic support to the Hydrogen and Industrial Carbon Capture program and deliver advisory consultancy, end-to-end innovation, design, and analytics with strategic partner PA Consulting (PA). For its part, PA will draw on its technology, design, and analytics experience to ensure the U.K.'s approach to carbon capture is innovative and impactful.

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.

"CCUS is an important enabler to the diverse mix of cross-market decarbonization and energy transition solutions needed to meet net-zero ambitions and enhance the U.K.'s energy security for the future," said Kate Kenny, Senior Vice President at Jacobs. "We bring technical and strategic program management experience across CCUS projects, critical infrastructure, and whole energy systems as the CCUS program drives continued development and scaling in deployment."

Jacobs' global experience in the emerging CCUS market includes work on deep geological exploration, environmental consenting, design, and major program management of complex, multi-stakeholder infrastructure projects. Jacobs' growing portfolio in decarbonization and energy transition includes delivering strategic route options for the U.K.'s National Gas, supporting BaroMar with a Long-Duration Underwater Energy Storage Pilot, collaborating with Fortescue Future Industries on its renewables and hydrogen projects, and serving as program manager for the ARCHES Hydrogen Hub in California.
