National Gas | Future Grid
This system provides GB with a significant opportunity to decarbonise various industries by
transporting low-carbon gases such as hydrogen, biomethane and various synthetic fuels.
Transitioning this system would also pave the way for industrial emitters to decarbonise either through fuel switching
or transporting carbon dioxide to potential storage sites around the United Kingdom (UK). Recognising
the imperative to transition to a low-carbon future, the Future Grid project sought to explore
the feasibility of repurposing the NTS to transport hydrogen.
This project, an essential part of the National Gas HyNTS programme, endeavours to align the NTS
with GB’s net zero ambitions by demonstrating the operational viability of the system with varying
hydrogen blends using decommissioned assets, typical of the natural gas network today, ultimately aiming
for 100% hydrogen conveyance
