National Transmission System Hydrogen Blending Stakeholder Engagement Report

Summary

The UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) conducted a study to assess the feasibility and impacts of blending hydrogen into the National Transmission System (NTS) at concentrations up to 2%, 5%, and 20%. The study, which included extensive stakeholder engagement, found that while lower blends are technically possible, the associated significant costs and operational downtime raise questions about its long-term viability. Stakeholders largely see blending as a temporary measure, preferring the direct development of dedicated 100% hydrogen infrastructure to avoid potential negative impacts on consumers.
