Centrica supports National Grid project to explore green hydrogen injection
3/7/2022
Press Release - Centrica Centrica is set to support National Grid to establish methods for injecting green hydrogen into the National Transmission System (NTS). To meet the net zero targets set by the UK government, the UK gas networks need to decarbonise. National Grid, alongside CNG Services, Element Energy and Centrica, have been granted £114,652 for a discovery phase project as part of Ofgem’s Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) competition. Currently, there is no formal process in place for injecting green hydrogen, made from electrolysis using surplus renewable electricity, into the NTS - in large part because it is a relatively new process and up until now it has not been required.
