Centrica and National Gas have successfully added hydrogen to the UK grid in a test.
The trial, which took place on October 9, involved injecting a 2% blend of green hydrogen into the gas grid, then blending it with natural gas to generate power at Centrica's Brigg Power Station.
The test showed that blending is technically and operationally viable and highlights the potential of hydrogen to decarbonise energy infrastructure and its role as a back-up energy source.
