Nearly £50m ($64m) of Ofgem funding has been earmarked for UK hydrogen blending and de-blending projects, aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of transporting the energy carrier through existing gas grids.
Of the £49.1m (63.1m) funding envelope, National Gas Transmission will receive £33.3m ($42.7m) to work on adapting existing gas compression units for use with hydrogen, allowing for it to be fed into networks.
