Report urges action on hydrogen blending

This is the conclusion of a new report published today by Cadent as part of Energy Networks Association’s (ENA) Gas Goes Green programme. The Frontier Economics report sets out the changes that need to be made for gas network companies to start blending large quantities of clean hydrogen with existing methane fossil gas in Britain’s 284,000km network of gas pipelines.

HyDeploy project to add hydrogen to a UK gas network

The technical and safety case for hydrogen blending is being demonstrated by the HyDeploy project, showing that household cookers and gas boilers are capable of managing a gas mix of up to 20 per cent of hydrogen without an impacting the way those appliances are used.

Hydrogen Blending Commercial Framework - Frontier report

Network companies are currently allowed to blend up 0.1 per cent mix of hydrogen in the gas grid, but if a 20 per cent hydrogen blend was rolled out across the country it could save around six million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year.
