HyDeploy, the first project in the UK to blend hydrogen into a natural gas network has been hailed a success in a report published recently. Customers used hydrogen-blended gas safely in their homes and without the need to make any changes to their existing appliances. 100 homes and 30 university buildings on a private gas network at Keele University received the blended gas for a period of 18 months which ended in Spring 2021.
