Britain’s gas network ready for hydrogen fuel

LONDOB, July 24: Britain's national gas network is ready to accommodate hydrogen as a fuel to power homes and industry, a report based on a trial carried out by National Gas showed on Wednesday, which owns and operates the gas transmission network.

Replacing natural gas with hydrogen is viewed as a way to help reduce carbon emissions and dependency on fossil fuels.

The previous UK government supported blending up to 20 per cent of hydrogen by volume in the gas distribution network if enabled.
The trial tested the blending of hydrogen into previously operational assets from the national transmission network over the last 12 months, scaling from a 2 per cent blend of hydrogen with natural gas up to 100 per cent.    —Reuters
