The UK Looks To Repurpose Natural Gas Infrastructure For Hydrogen

As the hype around green hydrogen intensifies, several energy firms and governments are exploring the potential for transforming existing natural gas infrastructure to be used to transport hydrogen as the world transitions away from fossil fuels. Now, the U.K. has announced a new development, trialing a hydrogen-gas project to see if this vision can become a reality.The U.K. will trial using existing gas infrastructure with hydrogen to see whether it is possible to transform this infrastructure to be used in renewable energy projects, rather than constructing an entirely new network of plants and pipelines. London-listed Centrica plans to inject hydrogen into a gas-fired, grid-connected power station to integrate the energy carrier into existing infrastructure. The trial will take place over 12 months in a gas-peaking facility in Lincolnshire, east England.Centrica explained the…
