UK gas firms study London hydrogen network

Study will identify how much hydrogen may be needed by the capital over the next 30 years and how it will be produced, stored and distributed

UK gas network firms Cadent, SGN and National Grid are to design a hydrogen strategy laying out the potential benefits of the fuel for London and the rest of the UK. These include reducing emissions, generating jobs and skills, boosting future energy independence and reducing fuel poverty. The study is the first stage of the ‘Capital Hydrogen’ programme for London and the southeast, which will eventually comprise a series of projects across the value chain in the region. It will identify how much hydrogen may be needed by London over the next 30 years and how it will be produced, stored and distributed. The study will also explore how hydrogen can be blended into the existing gas grid and th
