The report is an important contribution to the decarbonisation debate. It also raises key questions for both industry and Government. EUA is already working on a number of these with our members. We believe that decarbonising the gas grid is the only feasible way to decarbonise our domestic demand meet our carbon reduction targets.

Mike Foster, EUA Chief Executive said; 

“I am pleased to see the debate on hydrogen taken to another level, and our members are actively working on hydrogen appliances and solutions to demonstrate that it can be distributed in the UK distribution network safely. 

However, urgent industry and government action is required to make this a reality. This report helps to outline the opportunities for hydrogen but also some of the key hurdles that industry and government need to overcome. We look forward to working with all our partners over the coming years to transforming the theory on hydrogen into a low carbon reality.”
