Consultation description
This consultation seeks to gather evidence to help inform our
assessment of the potential strategic and economic value of
blending hydrogen into the existing GB gas transmission network. It sets out
our assessment of the aspects of commercial, market, technical
and billing arrangements that would be needed to accommodate
hydrogen blending into gas transmission networks, should blending
be supported and enabled by government.
It also considers the implications for existing end users of gas
directly connected to the transmission network and developments
across Europe in relation to the EU Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas Market
Package. We are seeking stakeholder views on this current
assessment of blending, including the economic analysis and
whether any complexities and challenges could be mitigated.
The consultation is open to all, but we expect it to be of most
interest to stakeholders involved in the hydrogen economy and
natural gas networks, including:
- hydrogen producers
- hydrogen consumers
- gas transporters
- gas shippers
- gas consumers
- storage operators
- investors
- consumer champions
- trade associations
- academics
