John leads the development of large-scale hydrogen transport infrastructure projects, including Humber Hydrogen and Project Union: East Coast, helping to support industry and accelerate decarbonisation. Humber Hydrogen is a partnership between National Gas, Equinor, Centrica and SSE Thermal, aiming to deliver Britain’s first integrated hydrogen transport and storage network. Project Union: East Coast is the first phase of National Gas’s proposed national hydrogen network.

National Gas owns and operates the UK’s 5,000-mile National Transmission System and is developing the hydrogen transmission system of the future. John’s focus is on helping to kick-start this transition through Humber Hydrogen, which will connect hydrogen production with industrial demand across the Humber and integrate with Project Union, the planned national hydrogen network.

A Chartered Engineer with 15 years of industry experience, John brings expertise in energy infrastructure, innovation and system transformation.
