Tuesday, October 12, 11:15am - 1:00pm (BST)
11:15 Welcome
Dr Angela Needle, Director of Strategy, Cadent Gas
11:20 A regulatory view of the hydrogen safety case
HSE will share their role in supporting the energy networks in key innovation projects around the energy system transition, and the need for evidence to demonstrate the case to support regulatory change to enable a greater percentage of hydrogen into the networks.
Kelli Jones, Head of Energy Policy, Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
11:30 A successful demonstration of hydrogen in the home: HyDeploy
In 2019, HyDeploy became the first project in the UK to inject a blend of up to 20% by volume of hydrogen into the existing gas supply. The project has proved successful, with the hydrogen blends having been safely and efficiently distributed to 100 domestic properties and up to 30 university campus buildings. Consumers noted no difference between the hydrogen blend and that of their former gas supply and are proud to be advocates for this innovative project. The outputs of this project will be crucial in closing the evidence gaps needed to facilitate the future roll out of hydrogen blends.
James Whitmore, Innovation Manager – Future Networks, Cadent Gas
11:45 H21 suite of projects
David Tomkin, H21 System Modeller, Northern Gas Networks
12:00 Gas Goes Green 2.0: the blending timeline
Bill Goode, Senior Development Lead, National Grid Gas Transmission
12:10 Panel
How will networks build the evidence for hydrogen?
How network innovation is contributing to the evidence for the role of hydrogen in a net zero energy system
How much hydrogen can we safely blend into Britain’s gas networks? What are the next steps in developing the safety case for blending hydrogen?
Which refurbishments are required of our existing infrastructure to enable the safe transportation of 100% hydrogen?
