Around 20% of UK properties are off grid, in that historically it has been uneconomic to connect them to gas networks, or to develop networks into certain geographic topographies. Typically, such properties are often rural, older housing stock located in more economically deprived or geographically remote areas and are heavily reliant on solid fuel, fuel oils, and in some cases liquid petroleum gas LPG or high-cost electrical resistance heating.
This project studies different methods of supplying Hydrogen to the customers. This includes supplying, transporting, and storing hydrogen as a compressed or liquified gaseous, or using Ammonia as a carrier of hydrogen.
Benefits
There is a lot of ongoing work to identify the most effective route to meet net zero in the UK and this project is one of many projects to evidence the major or minor role hydrogen will have in different scenarios. Repurposing the UK gas networks with hydrogen to support
the challenge of the climate change act has the potential to save £millions with minimal gas customer disruption verses alternative decarbonisation solutions
