A UK trial suggests the country's natural gas network can be adapted to transport hydrogen, potentially aiding the transition to net zero emissions.
The UK’s natural gas network will be capable of accommodating hydrogen to supply it as fuel to households and industries, according to a report based on a trial by National Gas cited by Reuters. Natural gas is currently the single largest energy source in the UK, accounting for around a third of power generation and a lot more in home heating and boilers.
The trial hasn’t revealed any major obstacles to repurposing the natural gas network to hydrogen, according to a report based on the findings. The trial is moving to a second test phase to look into issues associated with hydrogen compression, including the potential to repurpose gas turbines for hydrogen use at compressor stations.
