Gas pipeline from Bristol Port to storage facility given green light
Liquid petroleum gas (LPG) supplier Flogas Britain has been granted planning permission to construct a gas pipeline from Bristol Port into an above-ground storage terminal near the city.
The storage facility was formerly owned by National Grid and has been a feature of the local landscape for several decades. It was previously only able to store liquefied natural gas (LNG) but Flogas is planning to convert the plant into an LPG and green gas storage plant, with the capacity to hold 34,564 tonnes.
The company said the proposals would generate 50-100 construction jobs, as well as roles at Bristol Port and the Avonmouth site. Completion of the works is expected in 2025.
Starting at Bristol Port with a new unloading facility, the pipeline will largely follow existing pipeline routes away from residential areas through predominantly industrial zones to the Flogas Avonmouth storage facility.
According to Flogas, the twin-pipeline will create no visual impact and will increase the availability of LPG and Bio-LPG, enabl
