Zero-carbon hydrogen injected into gas grid for first time in groundbreaking UK trial

Blend of hydrogen and natural gas is being used to heat homes and faculty buildings at Keele University

Zero-carbon hydrogen has been injected into a UK gas network for the first time in a groundbreaking trial that could help to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

The 20% hydrogen and natural gas blend is being used to heat 100 homes and 30 faculty buildings at Keele University in Staffordshire. Unlike natural gas, when hydrogen is burned it produces heat and water as opposed to carbon dioxide.
