Plans for H100 Fife, a world-first hydrogen heating network, have been given the green light by Ofgem<\/a><\/h2>\n

The energy regulator will award up to \u00a318m from its annual\u00a0Network Innovation Competition<\/a> to support the development of the new hydrogen heating network, triggering a further investment of \u00a36.9m from the Scottish Government.<\/p>\n

SGN<\/a> shareholders and Britain\u2019s three other gas distribution networks are also providing funding for the project.<\/p>\n

Work will now begin on delivering a 100% hydrogen heating network<\/a> in Levenmouth, Fife, which will bring carbon-free heating and cooking to around 300 homes from the end of 2022.<\/p>\n

The project aims to provide compelling evidence of hydrogen\u2019s performance in a real-world domestic setting as a zero-carbon energy source.<\/p>\n

The clean gas will be produced locally, by a dedicated electrolysis plant powered by a nearby offshore wind turbine.<\/p>\n

The project will be the first of its kind to use a direct clean power supply to produce hydrogen for domestic heating, putting the Fife town at the forefront of the green energy<\/a> revolution.<\/p>\n

\u2018Getting behind the challenge of net-zero\u2019<\/h3>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted that stakeholders have recognised the critical importance of H100 Fife,\u201d says Angus McIntosh, SNGs director of energy futures.<\/p>\n

\u201cH100 Fife is the UK\u2019s priority project in this area and is designed to demonstrate hydrogen distribution and in-home performance in a real-world setting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an exciting opportunity to revolutionise the way millions of people heat their homes. The hydrogen appliances will connect to the existing pipes in the home for zero-carbon heating and cooking with minimal disruption and with no need to replace existing radiators or plumbing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe high level of ambition shown by bidders in this year\u2019s Network Innovation Competition is hugely encouraging and shows the energy industry getting behind the challenge of net-zero<\/a>,\u201d said Jonathan Brearley, Ofgem\u2019s chief executive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe winning projects were those which showed the most potential to make the game-changing leaps in technology we need to build a greener, fairer energy system at the lowest cost to consumers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfgem will continue to back the best of innovation, which will help drive the green recovery and enable consumers to reap the benefits up to 2050 and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Customers in Fife will be given the chance to participate in the world-first demonstration.\u00a0 Any customer that opts-in to the project will receive a free hydrogen connection, free replacement hydrogen appliances and free maintenance over the length of the project. They will pay the same amount for hydrogen gas as they would pay for natural gas.<\/p>\n
