I-0339 - Technical Review - KIWA | ENA Innovation Portal

With the challenge of decarbonising heat, opportunities such as hydrogen blending are key to enabling reduction in our carbon emissions in the short term whilst minimising the customer impact. These low impact reductions are key to moving the UK towards its net zero target.

The technical challenges of blending hydrogen into natural gas are been explored in the Network Innovation Competition project HyDeploy 1 and 2. With the current projects providing the evidence to demonstrate the safety of blends within the network.

It opens up the wider question when considered alongside the work on 100% hydrogen for heat. Can appliances move between blends and 100% hydrogen, if not why not?

The development of hydrogen ready boilers is one angle, the deployment of these is not likely to reach large scale until the 2030’s.

Benefits

The work will focus on two areas a technical analysis of the effects of hydrogen concentration on gas appliances.

Learnings

Outcomes

The outcome of the project is:

A report detailing the technical challenges of changing hydrogen blend levels up to 100% hydrogen.

Lessons Learnt

Setting a clear scope ensured that the report did not stray into the bespoke equipment of larger commercial and industrial users.

Covering all options upto 100% hydrogen ensures a full picture for the Industry.
