The Gas Goes Green programme has been announced by the Energy Networks Association (ENA), the new collaboration between the UK’s five gas network operators has been created to meet the challenges and opportunities of climate change, delivering net-zero in the most cost effective and least disruptive way possible.

The Gas Goes Green programme will deliver the changes needed to move the UK’s network of 284,000km of gas pipelines from delivering methane-based natural gas to zero carbon hydrogen and biomethane.

The project brings together gas networks with civil servants, engineering and policy experts to solve the operational and technical issues associated with delivering a zero carbon gas grid. Changes will be delivered following regulatory approval.

Gas network companies have been running trials for using hydrogen and other green gas in projects around the country, including at Keele University, which has the world’s first live demonstration of using hydrogen for heating in homes.
