The funding will be used to create the East Birmingham Community Heat Test and Learn project to develop a new collaborative approach for engaging local communities in the transition to net-zero.
HyDeploy, the first project in the UK to blend hydrogen into a natural gas network, was hailed a success after customers used hydrogen blended gas safely in their homes for heat and energy without the need to make any changes to their existing appliances.
The UK’s first houses to demonstrate the use of hydrogen-fuelled appliances in a real-world setting are to be built by Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the company has announced.
Northern Gas Networks (NGN) has completed the project as part of H21, in collaboration with fellow gas distribution networks Cadent, Scottish Gas Networks and Wales & West Utilities. It builds on the earlier H21 Leeds City Gate project, which established a hydrogen conversion of the gas grid was technically possible and economically viable.
