Decarbonisation

We’re maintaining the leading role we play in the evolving decarbonisation and net zero journey

With a number of ground-breaking projects and trials across the energy sector, there’s an ever-increasing number of opportunities for us to make a difference.

For the gas industry, success hinges on collaboration – which will be vital to ensuring minimal cost is passed onto consumers.

We’re in a unique position to share knowledge and bring industry thinking together, as we support a range of innovative projects.

What this involves

As part of our decarbonisation business case, we are:

• supporting the development of:
  
  
  • hydrogen trials including H100 – covering 300 domestic supply points
    
    
  • the Hydrogen Village – covering 2,000 domestic and Industrial and Commercial supply points
    
    
  • the Hydrogen Town – covering 10,000 domestic and Industrial and Commercial supply points
    
    
• supporting early engagement and scoping of other projects, including Future Billing Methodology, Hydrogen Checker and Project Union
  
  
• continuing to support the navigation of the political and industry landscape on behalf of customers
