Overview / Responsibilities
The Project Engineer is to cover the maternity leave period and support the development of a high-quality Carbon Capture Storage project which has been identified at the uniquely located Immingham CHP Asset for VPI Immingham Project Team. This role is based on a 7 month fixed term contract and will working at two office locations, one in Brentford and one in Victoria, London.
The individual will support the VPI Immingham Project Engineering Manager and Project team on Humber Zero program activities relating to the project planning, control and services, including management of cost and schedule, monitoring and management of contracts.
The Project Engineer will have a particular focus on project control management and services.
The Project: The Humber Zero project is a combined set of decarbonisation projects that aim to decarbonise the Immingham industrial complex, comprising VPI's 1200 MW Combined Heat and Power plant and the two adjacent refineries operated by Phillips 66 (Humber Oil Refinery) and Prax Group (Lindsey Oil Refinery). The combined refinery capacity from the two Immingham based refineries constitutes over 25% of the UK's refining capacity, and in the case of the Phillips 66 Humber Oil refinery, a refinery that currently is the only manufacturer of premium grade graphite coke for EV batteries. In total, Humber Zero would capture up to 8 MTPA of CO2 for transportation and storage in nearby offshore CO2 storage locations.
The Humber Zero strategy is also to develop CO2 capture and Hydrogen hubs, providing a low-cost solution for decarbonised energy to industries and National Grid, and a platform for commercial-scale demonstration of critical decarbonisation technologies. In 2020, Wood Group completed a Pre-FEED scope of work, co-funded by VPI Immingham, Phillips 66 and Uniper, and delivered a set of project reference cases using a mix of pre-combustion (green and blue hydrogen) and post combustion technology pathways in order to decarbonise the Immingham industrial cluster comprising the VPI CHP and both refineries.
In terms of project timing, each of the projects will aim to be co-funded with the UK government, as a means of sharing in early mover development risk, and ensuring future policy and business models will enable first mover projects such as Humber Zero.
The first of these funds was the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund for which the Humber Zero application was successful and a program of co-funded work is now approved covering:
Post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) on GT1, GT2 & Aux Boilers at VPI - 3.3 MTPA CO2 Post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) on FCC at HOR Phillips 66 - 0.5 MTPA CO2
An HZ IPMC Phase 2 Contract has been awarded to Wood and work commenced in Q1 2022 and a 12 month FEED Contract with Worley is in progress which commenced Q1 2022, culminating in FID (Final Investment Decision) for the project in Q3 2023.
